Sewing lingerie: A fab day and a make to be proud of!

24/11/2015

I recently took advice from another blogger and I looked online to see what sewing adult education classes my local council had to offer. Oh my word! what a suprise. A wonderful selection, at reasonable prices and all within walking distance…

This lead to me taking a six week course on basic pattern drafting last summer. Then last weekend I took a one day work shop and learned how to sew a bra.

To say it was ‘worth every penny’ is a cliche and an understatement. All materials were included, there was lunch, coffee, cakes and did I mention the doughnuts?!

Mary-Louise, our teacher is a friendly, fun and experienced lecturer with a wealth of expertise at her fingertips. Design Creations is her latest venture, the website will soon be selling quality Lingerie supplies and even Bra Kits!  (oh yes please!!) so keep an eye on it.
If you live in Dorset and have time to take some classes I would recommend you look her up? The first image above shows the lingerie that Mary-Louise has sewn and brought along to show us.

Can you believe these are all the componenets that go into making just half a bra ?
Mary-Louise as part of her research ‘disected’ a bra to show us, fascinating.

We cut, snipped, sewed, unpicked, sewed again, chatted ( a lot ) ate cakes, laughed (a lot) and at the end of the day…..

Well I think a taa daa is the only phrase that comes to mind, dont you?

TAA DAAH!

Here is mine, must say I am very proud of it and it fits me like a glove, although we were only making sample sizes!

Mary- Louise also recommended a new book to me. Now on my Christmas List.

I repeat if you have the time and/or the opportunity to take this class, I highly recomend that you do!

Bestest

Ps Mary-Louise if you ever get to read this, I had a super time and learnt an awful lot in a day that sped by far too quickly! thank you xx

I always appreciate a share!

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.

Cashmere and wool from @nomad_slt saved from landfill and made into a warm, soft and squishy top! Pattern by @papercutpatterns I’ve had it years and made lots of T-shirts.

I have a long list of stylish #japanesesewingpatterns I want to sew. They are mainly lightweight dresses and shirts, summer projects. All from these fabulous #japanesesewingbooks in my collection. 
One of my most worn makes was this shirt from the nano Iro book.

A bowl of fossils found on the beach. Large jar of hag stones that Marc brings home for me. A collection of beautiful @penguinclassics from a house clearance sale. An old wooden panel from a skip. An Ikea lamp that is 25 years old. Bits and bobs from boot fairs. 
All this and more makes for a home with spirit and personality and a very pretty #shelfie !
