#braugust2019 Day 10: Most Worn. . . I made over 6 years ago as a trial bra for #merckwaerdigh BHS10 and it is still going strong. Affectionately known as 'Kermit'. Both the pattern and this bra have been my most worn. I'd used cotton jersey for the backing on the lace as it was the only thing a had that would match the colour. The cotton has turned out to be fantastic, not just in longevity of the bra. but also because it is the coolest on a 45C day. The design, I've used over 20 now, and probably another half dozen using the over designs in the pattern. . . Thanks to @nelliejoans for being today's sponsor. Good to have a great supplier just 'across the ditch' . . #braugust #merckwaerdighbhs10

#braugust2019 Day 8 - Oldest WIP. I tend not to leave projects unfinished, so this is as close as I get. It is a lovely kit that I got from #Merckwaerdigh. Love the print but can never decide how to best show it off. . Swipe to see some of the sketches that I originally did for it. Which do you like, or do you have any other ideas? #braugust

#braugust2019 Day7:Mix it up . Going with an activewear theme this time. These don't really match but I wear them together anyway. Both the jersey and the bib shorts are self drafted as I couldn't find a decent pattern for cycling gear. I'm particularly happy with the bib shorts as they have bend in hip to make them comfy on the bike. Does anyone else make their own cycling clothes? #braugust #sewover50 #sewyourownactivewear

#braugust2019 Day 6 : Matchy matchy... Ok, not quite a matching set yet, but working with lace can really sharpen your pattern matching skills. Lots of fussy cutting, but so worth it. Still to make the matchy matchy undies.... #braugust @makebraofficial

These are the PJs from the previous post. I love the print and it was kind of fun to try to sketch it. The pattern of the pants is from #knipmode that I usually use for making joggers. The top is #newlookpatterns #nl6216 that I've inserted a strip of the print into. And just to make use of a bit more fabric, I matching eye-mask from a #merckwaerdigh freebie. #sewover50 #sewcialists #sketch2finish #handmadepajamas

#braugust2019 Day 5: Colour Inspo . Yellow has become my unofficial colour of the year and I've been sewing a lot of yellow combined with black, grey or white lately. This bra is from an offcut that I used to make PJs, a little inspired by the recent anniversary of the moon landing. I love the print. The laces and elastics etc were dyed to match. I chose the lace because of the circles in the design, and the picot elastic for it's little bobbles, like the dots in the design (more noticeable on the side view). The yellow strap elastic is made from the picot elastic with FOE. Pattern is #merckwaerdigh BHB40 with a lace insert added to the top of the cup. So what do you think, does this design work or not? #braugust @sewyourownwardrobe
