And now that I have all those exciting bits of February talked about, on to the most exciting- which is all of the lovelies that you’ve made this month- and all I can say is WOW, and you better get a cup of tea and a comfy spot on the couch before starting this post!!!
Here we go!

Diana made two bras inspired by the ‘witches’ specifically Mary Sibley from the show Salem!

I love cool inspirations like that, and I love these bras! This first one is so sleek and sexy! and the second is so fanciful! Love it!

Gorgeous! Make sure to head over and check out more about these bras over on Diana’s post!

Next we have a set from Angela of My Little Sewing Dreams

Angela made this using the free bralette and string pattern from Make-Bra- and wow is this set sexy and strappy!!

This next bra is a light breath of air from Kathy of The Nerdy Seamstress!

Kathy has declared that this is her favourite bra and I can see why! She made this bra using bra tulle, with a layer of lining and a layer of polka-dot tulle on the outside. All this with bliss wires, gold sliders and rings and black findings really makes this bra pop! wow I love the combo!

I love how Kathy took the photos too- it just makes it look light as air! Make sure to head over and read all about it on Kathy’s blog!

Marian drafted this bra herself using the guidance of the Bra-Maker’s Manual from Beverly Johnson. She used foam and a diagonal seam cup for his simple pretty look!

This set has me dreaming about spring! I love the colours 🙂 You can read more about this set in Marian’s post here!

Marian was a busy bee and also made up this beautiful bra!  For this bra she used the Maya pattern from AFI and this beautiful lace!

Samantha made this first bra using this gorgeous hearts pattern fabric she found at her local fabric shop, when she went in to only buy thread 😉

She even got the print to repeat on the back band too! How cute is this- and so perfect for February and Valentine’s with the red and white! Love it!

Next she was feeling inspired by the lace theme this month and broke out this beauty! Peach duoplex bra with a lovely off-white lace appliqué!

She said this is the most beautiful piece of clothing she owns and I can see why! You’ll have to find some sheer tops that show this bra off- just stunning!!

Next we have two of the most beautiful delicate lacy lovelies from Sofia of Silver Lining Atelier!

Sofia made this bra, her black and white lacy bra, with her vertical seam pattern and an internal power bar for that little extra oomph!

This bra is also an all-lace bra, with lace cups, lace detail and lace frame and band! SUPER pretty!

Do you have any plans for March?

I’m going to be making a little detour off the path of lingerie and into the world of swimwear this March! You’re welcome to join me in the pool or stay with your lovely underthings! All is fair game this month!

Hope you’ve had a wonderful February, and I’m already dying to see all your inspiring makes in March!!
