I hope you enjoyed our Lingerie Month theme! A huge thanks to Megan and Andie for all their help writing and organising things behind the scenes, and to our guest contributors: Paige, Mariah, Karin, and Leah!
This past month has been so enlightening! I have learned so much when it comes to bra making That will help when I start on my first project. Thank to everyone as well who have contributed and of course to you Gillian! Believe or not I have enjoyed you journey as well and know know what to take into consideration as well. Like many, I wish I had better resources here in the States. Like most here, I have to order online for my supplies so the supplies resource would be the most valuable information for us here. Once again, THANK YOU!
Aww, I’m so pleased you enjoyed this month! I agree, sometimes it’s nice to see other people’s journey’s – it helps to know that everyone has a learning curve, but that something like sewing bras really is possible by the average sewist! Hope you find some good online suppliers that you can trust! (And if you start bra making, write us a post about it!)
Thanks for all the posts this month. I’m inspired to tackle a few lingerie projects – something I never thought I’d do prior to this year.
That’s great to hear! Underwear and slips are a lovely easy place to start!
Thank you so much everyone for such an inspiring event. It has certainly kick started something I’ve been meaning to get into for ages. Supplies for bra making aren’t hugely accessible here in the UK, but I’m finding ways and means!
I”m glad you are finding some suppliers that work for the UK! Buying abroad can be such a pain with exchange rates – it’s nice to buy local/national! Good luck in your sewing!
It was sew much fun! (hur hur!) Can’t wait for next year! This is an annual thing now, right? 😉
LOL – ya know, it could be! Goodness knows we have enough other topics to cover!
