A pale floral lingerie set

Are we sensing a theme yet with my posts lately?? 😂

Carrying on with my recent lingerie sewing spree, after my success with the New Craft House Wren Bra in fuchsia and then olive mesh, I thought I’d make a set using fabrics and mesh from my embarrassingly large lingerie sewing stash.

When I was determining what I needed to buy for the fuchsia and olive sets, I realised that I had a lot of white, pink, and grey notions. Furthermore, they all tied together nicely with a pale pink and monochrome rose printed satin I had. I think this might’ve even been free in a bag of scraps that Kellie at Sewing Chest sent to me years ago? It’s a thin lingerie weight with only a small amount of width wise stretch and no lengthwise stretch, in pale pink with printed monochrome roses and a lovely satin sheen.

An olive lingerie set

This is almost a duplicate of the fuchsia mesh lingerie set I posted yesterday, but this time using the remains of an olive green kit I’d bought from New Craft House when I made their Wren bra a few years ago. Because I’d bought a bra kit and a panty kit, I ended up with a lot of mesh leftover, but not much in the way of elastics.

NCH don’t offer the kits anymore, but they do have a lot of the various olive notions, so I did the smart thing of sorting through my lingerie sewing drawer before ordering. As it turned out, I already had a hook closure, rings and sliders, and a ton of the mesh, so I just needed to buy more FOE, strap elastic, and under bust elastic.

A fuchsia lingerie set

Once a year or so, I go all-in on lingerie sewing for a bit. More often than not, it tends to be when it’s cold out and I’m sick of sewing sweaters and warm layers. Many times it happens in January, but it seems my sewing proclivities are earlier than usual this year, because I’ve just sewn an absolute lingerie explosion. This is just the first of four posts!

It doesn’t hurt that none of my nice, pre-Long Covid lingerie really fits anymore, and I’m sick of wallowing in Axis Tanks and bog standard comfy underwear day in and day out… So I thought I’d celebrate losing half of the weight I’d gained during Long Covid by sewing up a few nice sets for myself.

The fuchsia bra

I’d made the New Craft House Wren Bra twice a few years ago, both times using the kits of mesh & elastic that NCH sold.

Sage green lingerie set

Hot on the heels of my fuchsia mesh lingerie set I sewed recently, the New Craft House ladies released sage green lingerie kits and I slammed that Buy button quicker than I ever thought possible! I absolutely adore my pink set and I’ve been wearing it so much and I knew that a green set would get equally as much wear so it was a real no-brainer for me.

A fuchsia mesh lingerie set

I’ve made a lot of lingerie over the years, but my bra preferences have changed over the course of the pandemic (like a lot of women) to favour soft bras over underwired styles, and I’m still trying out different patterns to find ones I like. So I was very interested to learn that New Craft House had not only bought up the un-used fabric and haberdashery from a lingerie brand that sadly went out of business, but bought their patterns, too! When the collection was finally ready to buy (two bra patterns, three panty patterns, and four kits), I literally set a timer and hit buy within the first minute (if you’re ready this right after I’ve posted, the kits are only temporarily sold out while they catch up on the avalanche of orders).
