Warning… sultriness ahead! This pattern is not for the faint of heart.
I’ve had a few requests for a few “sexier” pieces, and I think this is the jackpot. They are layerable, adjustable, and just plain fun to wear and experiment with.
Shown here layered under my Lilith Shrug, pattern is coming soon!
Ok, every time I make a new underwear pattern I proclaim that this pattern is my favourite. Seriously though, these undies are my honest to goodness favourite as far as comfort goes! I’m wearing a pair in bamboo jersey right now. They are just perfect for my shape!
The Hunter Underwear Pattern is a pretty easy sew as far as lingerie goes. They have a simple FOE waistband and an elastic stabilized hem. The trickiest part of these is sewing the triangular insert, but I’ve got a video on how to do just that! This technique is a good one to know whether you’re sewing this pattern, my Clara Sleep Mask Pattern, or any other project that has sharp, inset corners.
I’ve been liking these for wearing under leggings when I go running. The elasticized hem stays put on my body shape and the mid-rise is really comfortable on my non-apologetically soft 35 year old mom stomach.
I really like this pattern. It’s basically what I’m all about… simplicity! To me, simple = sexy, or at least that’s how it makes me feel which is the important part, right? I’ve been stocking up my underwear drawer in these sewn in bamboo because it’s silky, soft, and lightweight, but I’ve recently ordered some thermal knits that I’m excited to experiment with for winter!
For a limited time, you can get the pattern for 25% off here and through Etsy.
Happy Sewing!
It’s done! And I’m super late to post about it!
I made this pattern about two years ago when I started thinking about getting Isabel out of diapers. I’ve sewed it a lot. And since grading it in different sizes, I’ve sewn it for friends kids too! This little pattern has gotten a lot of use around here.
The Belle Pattern is really easy. The trickiest part is sewing the fold over elastic, but if you’ve sewn with it before, these will be a breeze for you.
The instructions will walk you through how to sew the top with either a lace or FOE neckline. The undies are a super simple cut. Roomy, but perfect for under leggings and jeans.
I really hope you enjoy sewing these as much as I do. They are so quick to put together. It’s the perfect “my kid is napping and I want to make something” project. I currently have this pattern available in 2T-5T, but hope to release bigger kid sizes in the future.
You can purchase the pattern on Etsy or directly through my website!
It’s here! It’s pretty much here! I’ve drafted, tested, graded, trued, sewed samples, tested, received feedback, edited and edited and edited, photographed, and edited some more… but it’s here (basically). I’ve listed all but one of my new patterns in my Etsy Shop.
I’ll be adding one final pattern next week. It just needs one little tweak. I just couldn’t wait any longer. I am impatient.
Last Tuesday I did a really fun photoshoot with my beautiful friend/cousin, who modelled for me, and my friend Susie. It was my first time photographing a model, and to make my life extra challenging, I decided I wanted a diffuse back lighting. I’m excited to show you my new things! I’ll be posting about them piece by piece, but in the mean time, feel free to shop the collection HERE.

I recently joined Kollabora… it has been on my “to do” list forever, but I am so glad I finally got around to it! It is an amazing, inspiring site. I’ve spent so much time already browsing through people’s makes and getting ideas for my own wardrobe… If you are a maker, you should definitely be on Kollabora. It’s an amazing combination of the best of Pinterest and Etsy, combined in to one beautifully designed site.

I am also now selling my patterns on Kollabora and have been featured on their blog! It was a fun interview, and I got to talk a bit about what inspires me, advice for other designers, and what’s in store for the future! You can read my feature here.
Today is the last day of a long weekend here. It’s been one of the nicest long weekends I’ve had in a while. Dan was off all weekend so we got to do lots of family things. We went for a short hike in Scouts Valley, went to a carnival on the waterfront and ate chip-truck poutine (which is the best poutine), and today went to the Zoo! Isabel LOVED the zoo. Her favourite animals were the giraffes and baby goats (the baby goat nibbled her fingers). I also started a new workout routine that has left me feeling old, sore, and terribly out of shape (stairs are the enemy right now). I had intended on sneaking in some work this afternoon, but I’m too tired.

I’m enjoying Isabel even more as she grows. She’s cruising around furniture right now, able to pull her self up and down. She crawls so fast and is hard to keep up with! She’s already starting to want to do everything by herself, especially when it comes to feeding, so she’s mostly eating soft finger foods right now. It’s great, in a way… she mostly feeds herself, but also ends up feeding Oliver an awful lot of what she’s supposed to be eating. I’m having a hard time thinking of foods that are soft and easy to eat, and that she can eat with her hands. So, if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to leave me a comment!

Rings and Sliders – I like to use nylon coated metal rings and sliders. They come in a variety of colours and sizes. I always prefer to use metal over plastic for durability.
Strap Elastic – Generally plush on one side (the side that goes against your skin), and matte or shiny on the exterior. It comes in various widths, with the standard being 1/2″.
Bra Back Closures – These hook and eye closures come in various sizes, with the average being 2×3 hooks. The inside of these are plush, so they’re soft against your skin.
Fold Over Elastic – I like to use fold over elastic for finishing the upper edge of bras and for waist and leg lines of panties. It comes in a million shades of elastic, and if you can apply binding, you can apply fold over elastic.
Band Elastic – Just as the name implies, it goes around the band, or lower edge of the bra. One side is soft and plush and it often has a decorative edge. Band elastic comes as narrow as 1/4″, and up to 1″ wide. My preference is 1/2″, or 3/4″ for larger bust sizes.
I’ve assembled some kits, in black, ivory, pink and navy, that contain all of the most often needed lingerie supplies in the most common sizes. Each kit contains 1/2″ strap elastic, with 1/2″ ring and slider set, 1/2″ plush band elastic, satin fold over elastic, a 2×3 hook and eye closure, and two satin bows, hand tied by yours truly. There is enough elastic to complete 1 bra and 1 pair of panties.
