One More...

I really can sew more than this but I find that I sew what I need.  I started sewing my own under garments a year ago See here  And the truth is I like them better than any I've purchased over the years.  They can be made to individual form. 

So once again this is my sewing challenge garment.  I do plan to branch out a bit in February.  I'm thinking a fun spring skirt would be perfect next month.

 

Cotton cut on the bias.  I line with cotton too. 

Very comfortable and wears well.

Judy, this is the picture of the four pieces.  It really is a basic pattern.  I made a change so I could make a button closure instead of the hook and eye.  I just prefer that.  If you ever decide to make one and want to do the button closure let me know I would be happy to send you my extension pattern. 

 

 

As you can see it really is just a piece of paper to extend the side a bit to give me room for buttons and button holes.

Happy sewing!!

 

 

 

 

Completed

 

No 'selfies' but this is the completed bra.  It is dark charcoal with light gray elastic.

The lining behind the button holes is a fun red cotton and you can just see it peeking out...

 

I do an extension on the pattern so I can do buttons and button holes in place of hook and eye closure.  It is just my preference.

 

 

 

I also love the softness of cotton.  So I cut my pattern on the bias and it gives all the stretch needed.

I hope you try it sometimes it really is a comfy fun foundation garment.

Reading the Rules - Sewing Challenge

 

Eek!  I really should read the rules better.  The Sewing Challenge clearly states: The garment must be for you and not someone else.  Well since there are only a couple days left in October I may fail the challenge in the first month. 

I will see what I can do quickly.  Hope you are all having fun meeting the challenge.  Sew Blessed Maw made a really cute tunic top.
