awesome work ladies!
Awesome work indeed!
Love this round-up!! You can really tell that spring has finally come, there are lots of beautiful floral prints this month!! 🙂 I'm definitelly sewing a spring-themed bra this April, and of course I'm eating lots of chocolate this weekend: here in Barcelona we have Easter's Mona: a big sweet bun with a chocolate egg in the middle! ("Mona" actually means "female monkey". It's a totally random name!)
Happy Easter! 🙂
A big sweet bun with a chocolate egg in the middle- that sounds like something I need in my life! I'm so happy it's spring! I can't wait to see everyones bras! 🙂 It's going to be a good month! Happy Easter!!
Wonderful round-up, Erin! I love so many of them, and really need to get sewing bras again. I have some plans for Spring, so hopefully I'll have one for next month. Beautiful work, everyone!
Michelle
Thanks Michelle! You do need to get sewing bras again! It's the best sewing!! I can't wait to see what you make next 🙂
Oh, they're so lovely! And while you are sewing for spring, I'm thinking about winter lurking around the corner. But stretch lace works for me any time of the year. Looking forward to next month's submissions.
Thanks Ilna! Stretch lace really is good all year round! 🙂
