Guess what?
I have a new pattern! And the best part is, it’s FREE!
The Hyacinth Bralette is a super simple pattern. It’s just two pieces and only requires a small amount of fabric, making it the perfect scrap buster. If you are new to sewing, with a bit of experience working with knits, this is the perfect project for you. If you’re a more experienced sewer, the Hyacinth will be a quick yet rewarding sew.
I’ve posted two videos on YouTube. One will walk you through how to alter the Hyacinth Bralette for a larger cup size (a D+), and the other walks you through the general construction. You can check those out here.
This bralette isn’t designed for support. It’s meant to be a light garment, ideal for smaller cup sizes, or as lounge wear. I think it would also make a great bikini top.
The instructions provided with the pattern will walk you through how to add lace trim to the neckline, band elastic along the lower edge, fold over elastic around the side and back upper edges, as well as how to sew adjustable straps. This pattern is developed for stretch knits. I like something with about 5% spandex for stretch and recovery.
I’ll be releasing an expansion pack for the Hyacinth Bralette very soon which will include several back variations as well as lace overlay options. I’m super excited about it and have had so much fun working on all of the samples….!
Get your free copy of the basic Hyacinth Bralette here. And stay tuned for the expansion pack!

March 24, 2021 at 8:29 amHello there! Thank you for this wonderful website. I’m a beginning sewer being coached by my friend Kathy who owns Sew It Begins in Nanaimo BC. She directed me to your site. I’d like to make a cotton halter bra for yoga. It makes me crazy when the straps slide down during my practice.
