Finished set
I had cut the set in November and was hoping to finish it promptly, once I would have received the elastics but my order arrived and everything sat there, waiting to be picked up. I ordered some glitter boxer elastic for the waistband and the bra band, which is really pretty, might need to order myself some! And some cavaliere elastic , which is like a bias binding with the fabric held between the 2 "layers" of elastic and of course some strap elastic too. I wanted to try a bralette for my daughter and found the Tami pattern by Eclipse , which is a free pattern. My daughter doesn't like lace so I planned to use some jersey fabric that I had in my stash, a leftover from a nightdress I made myself a few years ago. I then ordered the relevant elastics from Rascol. I used another free pattern, the Acacia Underwear by Megan Nielsen for the the bottom, using the same fabric and elastics. Sewing both pieces didn't take very long. It took much longer to sew the elastics....
