Bespoke Briefs Blog Tour

Have you guys seen the new Bespoke Briefs pattern just released by Thread Faction Studio?  It’s the perfect ladies’ mid rise briefs pattern and I was excited to get my hands on it before it was released.

Bespoke Briefs

I’m always happy to try out a Thread Faction Studio pattern, cause I know the sizing will be great and that the pattern is well tested, so I jumped at the chance to sew up a couple of briefs for the Bespoke Briefs tour.  Since I am pregnant I thought I’d make a couple of super soft and comfy briefs to wear postpartum so I chose to use the bands option for the waist and leg openings.  There are three other finishing options (lingerie elastic, and two FOE elastic methods), but I thought using the soft cotton lycra solids in my stash would be so comfy for those days following delivery.  I chose size XL based on my current (pregnant) lower hip measurement for this same reason and I am thrilled to report that the bands are so soft that these briefs actually feel quite nice, even now seated just below my 28 week belly.

Bespoke Briefs The back coverage is great and paired with a large crotch area, there is no tugging or pulling with the Bespoke Briefs.  The fabric stays just where it’s meant to which seriously ups the comfort game.

Bespoke Briefs And one of my favorite parts of this great pattern is that in lieu of side seams, the back piece wraps toward the front.  This allows for some fun scrap busting since the front piece ends up being significantly smaller than the back.  It’s hard to tell in the above pic cause I used the same fabric for all the pieces, but I can definitely see where these style lines would be great for a more delicate pair of briefs.  You’ll have to check out the rest of the blogs on the Bespoke Briefs tour and especially the post on Thread Faction Studio’s blog to see some really nice pairs of underwear the other ladies made.  I can’t wait to sew a pair with some stretch lace and lingerie elastic next.

Once again this baby surprised us. Yesterday morni Once again this baby surprised us. Yesterday morning she just started counting to ten on her own 😆😆 She was star struck watching herself on the camera so she didn’t go past five here, but in person she rolls right past ten and tries for 11 and 12 😍😍
You guys, this girl is having a real hair moment. You guys, this girl is having a real hair moment. After waiting literal years for her hair to grow in, it’s now turned into an 80’s rocker look with how spikey it all is on top and the extra length in back😆😆 
But we LOVE this Journal Jumpsuit from @jennuinedesign and she LOVES wearing it to jump on the couch. 😬😬😍😍She’s a real talker these days so I had to use the Story Teller cut file, also from the Lounge Library collection.  Check out @projectrunandplay for the details on the sale on this pattern this week only!
Fabric is a lush French terry from @knitfabricdotcom and the contrast is a solid from @wolfandrabbitfabrics

Have you seen the mini season of @projectrunandpla Have you seen the mini season of @projectrunandplay details yet?  I’m super excited about everyone sharing more of the Project Lounge Library collection and the freebies we’re offering!  First up is this perfectly sized book tote from @jennuinedesign. My girl LOVED the one I made from the second she saw it Christmas morning!  The cut file design is also from the collection as well as her nightgown 😍😍
There’s a whole Percy Jackson collection inside there along with three other (heavy) books, so it’s a nice sturdy tote that holds plenty!

Well it’s not as many books as I’ve read in pa Well it’s not as many books as I’ve read in past years, nor did I reach my (what I thought was an easy) minimum goal of 50, but then again all that was set back in January before I knew I’d have very little time to myself for 3/4 of the year 😆🤪 
I read lots of different genres, including a few oldie juvenile favorites to preview for or read alongside my daughter. 💕💕
Some were book club reads and some were suggestions from Instagram friends, but I really enjoyed them all. Of course the new Louise Penny was my favorite 😍

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in.
