You know those patterns that you go back to over and over again? For me it’s the Jasmine Bra. The shape just works perfectly for me. I have a larger bust (though it’s smaller than it used to be!) and find that it provides just the right support while still being super comfortable and pretty.
I’ve learned a lot about making sewing patterns over the last few years. Creating a pattern for someone else to sew is a whole different beast than creating something for yourself. You have to look through the eyes of someone who has entirely different experience from you!
So, I decided I’d take a deeper look at my favourite pattern. I’ve added additional sizes (it now goes up to XXL) and completely re-written the instructions.
The instructions now will walk you through how to sew a lined or unlined bra, how to use picot or fold over elastic, and also has an in-depth tutorial on how to sew it out of scalloped lace with racer back detail.
This bra is a perfect start for someone who has some sewing experience, but has never sewn lingerie before. It is easy to fit and accommodates a number of cup sizes.
You can purchase the Jasmine Bra from Etsy, Kollabora, or right Here!
If you have already purchased a copy and would like me to send you the updated version, please send me a message with your full name and I will send you an updated copy.
And, a heads up! I am working on some printed patterns if that is more your style… so stay tuned over the coming months. If you are a retailer and are interested in selling printed Ohhh Lulu patterns, please let me know so I can have a better estimate of quantities to order!
