When I spoke to Rachel from Maker Style a while back, we talked breifly about how our styles have changed over the years. I definitely would say I’ve developed a more modern, minimalist aesthetic. When I first started designing, my focus was on making things as elaborate, complicated and filly as possible. Over the last couple of years, I’ve come to learn I feel most comfortable in the most simple things. Simple lace undies, comfortable cotton bras (but in fantastic prints), staple black leggings, staple oversized top.
So, I really like this garter belt. The Cora tutorial does not come with any pattern pieces, but measurements and instructions on how to make a variety of elastic strap garter belts. You can make these in a variety of widths of elastic, which will slightly change the overall look, but I’d recommend not using anything less than 1/2″.
I’ve actually released this in two versions. There is a full tutorial for $2.99 that will walk you through all of the styles. Then, I have a FREE version that will walk you through how to sew the Lace-V style.
Out of all 5 styles, I think the single strap version might just be my favourite!
