Lingerie supplies shopping guide

Just the other day, a friend asked me if I’d considered making my own bras.  Her question came after my 10-minute rant about how larger retailers rarely carry bras in my size.  My response was that finding the materials suitable for bra making was too difficult.  And then, this morning, I saw a post from Heather at The Sewing Loft where she has collected up links to online retailers for lingerie materials.  Now my only excuse is finding the time.  If you make your own lingerie, or have just thought about taking the plunge, click the link below to see a list of lingerie sewing resources:

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
