Tuesday Sewing Again--A Bra

Since I had not touched my sewing machine due to its inaccessibility, I was thrilled to sew again today. But, I did not get to sew on my machine. It is in the back of Tommy's car, and neither of us can lift it out and get it into the cabinet.

I will tell you about the rest of Tuesday tomorrow. This post is about sewing.

Last week, I asked the owner of the sewing shop if he would sew something for me. He said, "No, his wife would do that." I explained I cold not return to pick up from my present location. I told him Tommy would come in with me so the experience would not be so weird. I wanted him to make me a bra. I told him I had lost mine in the recent catastrophe, that I wore a loose one to cut down on the jiggle effect but now they were flat and needed a lift, too. He said he understood. He also told me I did not have to worry because he would never do anything. I assured him I had no fear, just wanted to make the experience less weird.

Today, I went in with my tank top and Tommy. I even needed to use his scissors to cut of the tank top. He threaded a serger in red thread. I did what I needed to do. He then threaded a sewing machine so I could hem the now very short tank top. I sewed the elastic in as I made the casing. When I got home, it fit perfectly! Things are lifted and no longer flat. So, I am happy. If anyone wants the particulars, I will write about that another day.

Bras are sooo expensive. I tried to buy one last week, but nothing fit. This fits just enough. And, I believe the tank top with spaghetti straps was on sale for $1
on clearance. WIN! This is red, so I need to find black and white tops, too.

I am annoyed my commercial serger was destroyed. I am also determined to start sewing again. That will involve convincing Tommy to allow more bulbs in the house...lol.

Hve you ever made a bra? By a pattern?
