This is my last post for the Cross You Heart Relay. Now that you've seen all the bras and corsets its time to get the matching pantie! You'll also find my Booty Buddy, Michelle and her take on the "Panties, Construction and Fit" class right here!
*Disclaimer: Just so you know, I was given the class for free for the purpose of the tour, but all opinions are my own! I'm also an affiliate, meaning that if you should click on one of the links that take you to Craftsy (like on my sidebar or in this blog post) and make a purchase through that link, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Craftsy equips you wit the tangilble skills, quality materials, access to inspiring and like-minded crafters, and most importantly, the confidence to add your own creative twist to all that you create. Craftsy is committed to helping you express your unique passion, talent, and creativity.
I watched the classes, "Panties Construction and Fit*"with Beverly, our Fairy Bra Mother, I've done the math and drafted a pattern. I've made panties...and plenty of them!
This class took me from taking my own measurements properly, to drafting my basic master pattern in only the first 2 lessons.
Beverly really knows her stuff when talking about fabrics and notions, and mentions common mistakes some will make when drafting so that we don't make the same mistakes. In other lessons she explains how to modify to get different cuts and styles.
I was easily able to alter my pattern so that the side seams would be more like front side seams. I find it makes for a very sexy and high-end look.
After this class I feel very confident about the bra making classes that I recently purchased (all due to seeing everyone's project on this tour). Just about everything I've learned as far as techniques and skills will be useful for those classes too.
So now that this Craftsy class finally got me out of my maternity undies (very true story, and thank you so much!) I'm so pleased that they are extending a savings out to you on this class. You can save 50% on "Panties, Construction and Fit" class by using my affiliate link (Click!)

ReplyDeleteDon't laugh...Its from my stash from 2002! it was for a langerie class that I was supposed to take but couldn't because the hours just didn't work out.
DeleteThey look lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration for me! I am on the cusp of making my first pair. I have lost over 50 pounds so I need to do some sewing!
ReplyDeleteWow congratulations! You know what, you deserve not just new undies but a brand new wardrobe! So glad that you found some inspiration here :)

ReplyDeleteOh Sheri! you need to get enrolled in that bra making class! the nursing bra was the first thing to go when my youngest was weaned...I found they didn't give much support ;)
DeleteKeep making your own! While maternity undies can be comfy, they're no where near that cute. :)
ReplyDeleteYou do what makes you happy. Even if that means rocking maternity panties ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, those maternity panties were not doing anything for me anymore! I was long over due!
DeleteThese are so pretty! You did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteI still have a maternity pair left - and I am not saying that I don't wear them - but I am not saying that I do.... I have my first Beverly pair on my queue!

ReplyDeleteIt looks like Michelle should ditch the maternity panties and start making her own.
ReplyDeleteAs time permits, sew your own under garments.
ReplyDeleteTime for the maternity panties to hit the rag bin. You did a fantastic job on the new pair!

ReplyDeleteLove that lace! I don't think you could go back to the maternity ones when you can make your own so nicely!! :d
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteYou best get busy making a lot more!!
Great job! Just make your own pretty panties.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely you should make more.
ReplyDeleteThe only way you should go back to maternity panties is if you're pregnant again... Even then, you should probably make them :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh definitely do keep making your own undies!!! They are lovely, and I reallly need to get of mine too....
ReplyDeleteNo brainer. Make your own!
