I was participating in Amy @ Clothhabit's bra sew along. Sewing bras is not as hard as I thought it would be once you have your size figured out. I bought this pattern from a sale rack at Needle Nook Fabric for $1! The copyright on my version was 1980.

Pattern Description: Back Closure, horizontal seamed bra, no underwire.

Pattern Sizing:I made a 32C

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?Wow, I have to say I was totally impressed with the fit of this bra. It's super comfortable! I'm not a huge fan of the horizontal seam in this one, but in future ones, I'm going to try to trim that seam down more. I didn't do as good of a job trimming on this one as I could (in fact, I don't think I trimmed at all and the fashion fabric is kind of thick).

Fabric Used: This is made from a kit from Needle Nook Fabrics in Wichita.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:None at all, except I didn't sew adjusters in the straps. I figure since this is custom made to me, I don't really need them.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Absolutely...while the picture on the envelope is very old school, the bra itself is great.

Conclusion: I love this pattern for it's comfort. I must make more.

	Dynamo said... All three of the bras that you've just reviewed look great but I think this is my favourite. The fabric looks very luxe! I wish I had known about this sew-along. I will have to give bra making a try. You make it sound do-able! 2/2/13 3:57 PM

	Sewiing Sue said... amazing fit and style. I followed the bra sew along without signing in and am working on one now. Hope it turns out half as good as yours! 2/2/13 5:26 PM
	SandiMacD said... The timing of this sew along just didnt fit in my schedule. I hope they do another one so I can plan to be in it. Or even do a PR class. I really like how yours turned out. 2/3/13 7:01 AM
