A few last things.

The removalists arrive tomorrow, and I am guessing that I will be offline for quite a while.  Before I go, here are two underwear sets I made quickly to test some patterns.

The first bra is Jalie 3131.  It does not have underwires.  Some notes
- it is more supportive than I was expecting
- I added underwire casing, even though I did not use underwires, to provide a little more structure and support, and to keep all those seam allowances neat
-  I would like to modify this to use as a sports bra.  To do this, I would make the back band shorter and I would change the shape of the back band so that the straps cross over in the back.
- I think gingham underwear is cute!
- the knickers are my self drafted pattern with CB seam.  I need to go down a size, so for this version, I pulled the elastic tighter than I normally do.

The second bra is Elan #540.  I have made this pattern before when I was a smaller size. Some notes
- I modified the back to have a racer back style.  This is really comfy and something I need in my underwear drawer.
- I need to take more care next time when attaching the bridge pieces, so that the cups sit evenly when I am wearing it.
- the bust point is in the wrong spot for me.  Next time, I will try moving the BP to the "A" position, even though I will stay with the "B" size.
- the knickers are self drafted, from  "Patternmaking for Underwear Design" by Kristina Shin.  I pulled the elastic tighter than normal on these, thinking it was a weak ealstic, but the elastic is not so stretchy, so this did not work out well.  I need to remember this, as I have quite a lot of this elastic.
- I was all out of findings, so I ducked down to the op shop, when they had tubs of bras for $50c a bra.  I took a handful of coloured bras home with me and cut off all the coloured findings.  Economical and no shipping to pay!

So farewell for now.  I will keep reading your blogs via my phone, but I find it too tedious to comment on the phone, so you won't hear from me for a while.  xx
