News & Events
There are TWO new pattern releases this week that I’m really excited to talk about. They are the Jordy Bralette and Tuesday Boyshort Patterns by Emerald Erin.
New Bra Pattern: Jordy Bralette
The Jordy Bralette is a classic triangle-bra style with a wide elastic band. There are three options available: you can make an all-fabric version, a lace overlay version and a foam lined version. I was a pattern tester for this pattern, so I ended up making quite a few of the foam lined versions. They were a huge hit with my friends.
You can purchase the pattern here.
New Underwear Pattern: Tuesday Boyshort
The Tuesday Boyshort is a cute underwear wardrobe staple. There are two views available: classic boyshort with a seam in the center front or the version with no front seam. I’m not a huge boyshort person, but the solid front view is quite cute and I made a couple for everyday wear.
You can purchase the Tuesday Boyshort pattern here.
Also, I wanted to add that Erin reached out to me to pattern test back in September of last year. This tells you that these patterns have been in the works for quite a while and she’s spent a long time tweaking, updating, and perfecting them. You can learn all about the patterns in Erin’s post here. She’s also filmed a gorgeous lookbook to go with the pattern launch, so be sure to check it out.
Bonus! Erin has put together kits for both her patterns and you can shop them here:
That’s it for this week. Have a great weekend everyone.
