Bra supplies for the lingerie sewing newbie
Making my own bra has been something I have wanted to do for ages. I have done lots of research on where to get lingerie supplies and patterns and here I share what I have found.
Plissé technique at home – Kankaan pliseeraus kotona
I taught myself how to make beautiful plissé fabric at home. It's not an easy process but you don't need any special equipment more complicated than an ordinary domestic steaming iron. What you need is patience but the results can be breathtaking!

Trying out 3D-printing and laser cutting
Testasin Ison Omenan Pajaa ja kokelin 3D-printtausta, laserleikkuria ja vinyylileikkuria. I tested the maker's space "Paja" at the local library and tried out 3D-printing, laser cutting and a vinyl cutter.
Amelia Tea Dress pitkähihaisena/with long sleeves
I made a vintage style floral dress out of mustard viscose I got from Artenio. The pattern is the Amelia Tea Dress by Simple Sew patterns but I modified the pattern by replacing the flutter sleeves with long ones.
A quick and easy t-shirt with a Hey June Aurora pattern
I made the Hey June Aurora top using black and white patterned jersey. I had to modify the pattern slightly due to lack of enough fabric but the result is a great top that I have been wearing almost constantly after finishing it.
Winter pajamas – talvipyjama
I made myself a set of warm winter pyjamas. I modified the flannel trousers pattern from the Closet Case patterns' Carolyn pajamas and made a t-shirt top using the shortened McCall's M6886 jersey dress pattern.
My presser feet collection – Paininjalkakokoelmani

For a long time I used to sew with just two or three presser feet and did not realise how my sewing could be improved with some little additions to my presser feet stash. Now I have over 20 different presser feet and couldn't live without them.
