Hi All! This is going to be a shorter post today, no submissions and no too many pictures, I think everyone is taking a bit of a break for the holidays. I also wanted to take a moment to reflect and say, this is it. This is the final week of the Bra-A-Week Challenge...

Bra-A-Week [48]: Lingerie Sets!
Hi All, This week I thought I would do something that I have been completely neglecting this year. I have not made any panties to go with my bras, let alone sets with garter belts! So I thought I would take two of the beauties that I've made this last month and turn...

Bra-A-Week [47]: The Chevron
Hi All! I have another beauty for you today 🙂 I decided after three weeks of bra tulle bras, that I would do a bralette! Because they are such a staple in my bra wardrobe! I used my black bra tulle and fold over findings for this one! I was loving the ruching from...
Bra-A-Week [46]: The Parisian
Hi All! Another week of the bra-a-week challenge, and another week of my love affair with the bra tulle 🙂 This time I wanted to use the blush bra tulle, and I wanted something that was a little less modern and angular than the last couple bras that I've made,...
All About Elastics!
Hi All! Today I wanted to do a post about elastics today. I've done a little highlight about Bliss Wires, and Bra Tulle, and now I thought I'd give a moment to talk about elastics, the elastics I like, and what I use in my bras. In general I use all the same strapping...

What is Bra Tulle?
Hi All! I woke up this morning and realized that I didn't have any good stories or cool pictures of my week for Saturday Life. It was a solid week of just average work stuff, which is pretty cool, don't get me wrong, but not quite as cool for blogging. So I thought,...
Bra-A-Week [42]: Mastectomy Week 🙂
Hi All! This week I have something extra special for you! I have a mastectomy bra! When I was in Calgary collaborating with my friend Karin (of Mrs.Weaver's Finest), we did a fitting on a lovely lady who had a double mastectomy. In the process of designing and...

Bra-A-Week Challenge: Week 34, Bra Theory Power-bar edition
Hi All! Another week, another bra, and this week more bra theory! More specifically power-bar and push-up theory! Now I have to say that the bra was a nightmare to photograph, and I feel like the photos don't really do justice to what it looks like in real life. But...

Bra-A-Week: Week 27 & a New Red Bra for Me!
Hi All! Today I have a bra for Bra-A-Week! I wanted to experiment with some new fabrics, instead of always using either duoplex or cut&sew foam. I found this amazing stable knit (it has no spandex or stretch, only mechanical give), but it's MUCH lighter than...

Bra-A-Week: Week 23
Hi All, Today I have possibly the cutest bathing suit ever! Sorry if this post is a little pic-heavy- but I just love this suit! I attribute these last two suits as a repercussion of too many sporty suits in the weeks before. I just can't keep my girly side in for...
