All the sewing in this post! I still have a backlog of projects to share with you but I thought I would share some things that I recently sewed where I have used the pattern before or, in the case of bra sewing, am using an updated pattern.

I wanted to try it … More Seamwork’s Florence Lounge Bra
I’m not a Star Wars fan (I don’t mind it, but I am a fan of Star Trek all the way; I prefer technical scifi), but I can never resist a geeky reference in a blog title or anywhere really. Disclaimer: This is the post of lists….. So many lists in this post. I like … More Attack of the Bra Clone!
