Elodie Briefs: Pink & Red

Pattern

Elodie Briefs in Style B

Fabrics

It's a bit difficult to tell in the photos on the dress form, but there are two different fabrics used.

Main: Matte Milliskin in a very light pink from Spandex World.  This is another fabric I find a bit challenging to work with.  It is a very dense knit that likes to shift, and sometimes to the needle skips stitches.  I found that using a microtex needle and a walking foot helps.

​Contrast: Stretch mesh, also light pink, from Spandex World.

Trims

Red 1.5" stretch lace came in a value pack from Fabric Depot Co.  

Red 3/8" picot elastic is from Nature's Fabrics.

Pre-made red bow with pearl came from Hobby Lobby.  

Considering these trims came from three different sources, I was shocked that they matched so well.

Style Notes

I have quite a bit of narrow stretch lace in my stash, and so far I haven't used it on many projects.  I thought it would be nice to use lace to emphasize the style lines in this design.
