Tutorial: Add a built-in bra with cups to a top or dress

June 14, 2012 by Anne Weaver

Christine Cyr Clisset from Daughter Fish shares a tutorial at BurdaStyle showing how add a built-in bra with cups to a fitted tank (or dress, or tee). Ohhh, this makes me so happy!! I can’t stand having my straps show, and sans bra is not a pretty look on me. Adding a built-in bra with cups gives the support and shaping without the annoying straps peeking out on your shoulders and back. Go to her tutorial on BurdaStyle.

(If the cups you use are scratchy, or your garment fabric thin enough that the cups show through, she has a tutorial on her blog showing how to line the cups inside and out.)

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
