Welcome to the February 15th, 2021 Edition of Lingerie Sewing Round Up!

If you are new around here, the Lingerie Sewing Roundup is a curation of a few projects, tips and tutorials, and ongoing events in the lingerie sewing community. These posts will encompass swimwear sewing and activewear sewing as well. It’s a quick catch up up for you to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea. The roundup is posted twice a month, on the 15th and the last day of every month.

Dani is an intermediate-level, low impact sports bra with a fun back! The front is lined with optional removable or fixed cups. It also includes both SBA and FBA pieces for a beautiful fit. The back has 3 criss-cross straps and a straight strap across the top. The center back is lined and curves down. Choose from an exposed elastic band or enclosed elastic band. Choose thicker exposed elastic for a longer or shorter bra.

The Mungata Undies are low rise, with a seamless detail at the hip to add different fabric or trims. The crotch gusset has fully enclosed seams and the coverage at the back is a bit cheeky. This pattern is drafted for 4-way stretch fabrics.

The diagonal style line is quite fun and can lend to interesting colorblocking/fabric mixing experiments. The pattern is available in English and Spanish.
