Welcome to the May 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.

If you want to be part of the lingerie sewing roundup, shoot me an email at thetailormadeblog[@]gmail.com with links to your video, blog post, or just photos if you don’t have a blog and I’ll be sure to include your work!

New Bra Pattern: Mésange Underwire Bra

We have two pattern releases from Small Bobbins. First up is the Mésange Underwire Bra. As per the company:

The Mésange bra is a medium coverage plunge-style underwire bra. It includes a one-piece darted-seam cup that can be sewn unlined or lined, complementing your natural shape. It also includes two band options: a classic, full band, and an elegant, longline band. Mésange was designed as a template for your stash of gorgeous stretch laces, letting the scalloped edge hug your curves as it perfectly frames a plunging neckline

New Underwear Pattern: Merle Panties

Small Bobbins also released the Merle Panties. According to the company:

The Merle Panties are the perfect template for your favorite stretch laces! A quick and simple make, you can whip up a bunch of Merle panties in no time. Merle is a cheeky panty with a seamless front and a center back seam that hugs your bottom.

Merle only requires two pattern pieces and can be made with as few as six passes under your sewing machine. Merle was designed to take advantage of the full width of your stretch lace band, so experiment with different widths for a totally new look! You can also easily make Merle in any of your favorite stretch fabrics and finish the edges with your favorite elastics.
