Canada Cups or Bottoms Up!



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!

Canada Cups, Cross Your Heart Relay - Jalie 2568

I bet you all want to see what I made using Jalie 2568. Well I can tell you I now have a full drawer of band new undies! I played around with the different styles available in the pattern, and also the different sizes...One thing for sure, smaller sizes are waaaayyyy cuter than the bigger sizes!


Je suis convaincue, que vous êtes curieuses de voir ce que j'ai fait avec le patron Jalie 2568. Je peux maintenant dire que j'ai un tiroir tout plein de nouvelles bobettes! J'ai profité de cette occasion d'essayer différent tissus et types d'élastiques. Je peux aussi confirmer que les bobettes en petite taille sont pas mal plus cute! 

    

I worked with different fabrics and elastic just to see what the results would be. the first pair with the orange trim is almost a mesh type fabric with a good amount of stretch in both directions, and the orange is fold over elastic (FOE). The fabric is very light weight but easy enough to sew because it isn't silky. 

I used a picot elastic and a three step zigzig to stitch on the elastic to avoid having the stitches pop. The fabric is a cotton lycra blend. No elastic needed at the legs with the boycut, I just finshed off the hem using my twin needle.  

Donc pour commencer, la première paire, j'ai fait avec un tissu genre mesh bien extensible des deux sens,  et la finissions est faite avec un élastique plié double orange. C’était assez facile à coudre parce-que le tissu n'est pas soyeux. 

Ensuite j'ai essayé la finition avec un élastique picot, j'ai pris le point zigzag a trois étapes pour éviter que mon fil casse. Pour la jambe j'ai simplement pris mon aiguille double. Ce n'est pas nécessaire de mettre un élastique pour la coupe garçonne.        


Now get ready for the cutest thing EVER! I was able to make a pair for the JubeJube in my left overs! All this using the same pattern because this pattern contains 27 sizes! The fit is perfect on her too. I get discouraged by the undies in the girls' clothing department, the fabric is so flimsy and the elastics come apart after two washes. I love that this cut of undies gives children that full coverage. 


Maintenant vous comprenez ce que je voulais dire...pas mal cute la paire que j'ai fait pour JubeJube à partir de mes reste. Et bien sure un seule patron a acheter parce-que les 27 grandeurs sont incluent. J'ai tellement horreur des petites culottes qu'on retrouve dans le départements des filles, le tissu et tellement mince et les élastique ne tiennent plus après deux lavages. Je peux aussi confirmer que cette coupe donne vraiment une belle couverture où nécessaire ;) 





OK, one last pair...The Brazilian cut. These are so quick to make especially if you already have the lace band available to you. 

Dernière paire, la coupe Brésilienne. Super facile a faire si vous avez les bandes de dentelle. 



Literally two seams to sew (I used my serger) and then stitching in the lining...and done! 

C'est vraiment simplement deux coutures (j'ai utiliser ma surjeteuse) et ensuite de pique la doublure, et c'est fini!  



Tomorrow you get to see what I made after having view Beverly's Construction and Fit panties class available on Craftsy...and guess what, I have an awesome deal for you...using my affiliate link you can get the class for half off (for a limited time). 

Demain je vous montre ce que j'ai fait apres avoir pris le cours "Construction and Fit panties class" de Beverly. ET en plus vous pouvez profiter d'un rabais de 50%sur ce cours avec mon lien affilié (pour une durée limité) 


* I got the pattern for free in exchange for the review, but all opinions are my own!
