I usually don’t write a recap of what I made, but it’s something I want to start doing more regularly. I have a video recap on my YouTube channel here. But sometimes it’s easier to write about details than to speak them. So, here are the details of what I made in June 2021.
SHORTS

The first thing is (which I believe was actually done at the end of May) this pair of Colette Patterns Iris shorts. The pattern is actually shorter than this. I made these longer by about 3″. Otherwise, there were not changes made to the shorts. Also, here is the post I wrote about the first version of this top.

BRAS
The next group of items I made were bras. Being able to make my own bras has really been an awesome experience. The ones I make fit me better than many that I have bought. So the three grouped together are all Pin Up Girls Amanda T-shirt pattern. The one brown satin is Orange Lingerie Marlborough bra.

I have fabrics and findings for bra making, but I don’t really have kits. So I use what I have and try to coordinate to make what I want. But these Pin Up Girls bras are my favorites. They are full coverage bras that are comfortable and fit well. You purchase the foam cups, then cover them with fabric. I like the Orange Lingerie Marlborough bra too. It did take a bit more work to get this style to fit me.
TOPS
One of the tops I made was using Simplicity patterns 8920.

I used fabric from Minerva fabrics for this. I am a Minerva Maker. The blog post I wrote for their site is here. This fabric is fantastic! It’s bright and summery; great for the pattern I used.
Here’s a link to the fabric if you’d like to check it out for yourself.
The next tops were the Ogden cami from True Bias patterns. I had to make some changes to this to get a look and fit I wanted. But I’m very happy with how this final one (yellow & white) turned out.

This is a cool, comfortable top that can even be worn under a blazer when the weather transitions into fall. I can also see making this in different fabrics.

So that’s it for the month of June. I’m currently working on many things. Let me know in the comments what you’re up to.
Until next time…
