It really has been all about the bras lately. I’ve had this Sophie Hines Euler bra cut out for some time and only now just had the time to get it out and finish it. This is a modified Euler using the modified pack you can buy as an extra to the Euler Pattern.
Lower cups are lined in bamboo jersey with the upper fabrics being pink stretch mesh and printed stretch mesh. I basically used whatever trims I had in the stash that matched though I’m quite pleased at being able to use that little ruffle elastic for the neckline.
To wear it’s very comfortable, shape is a little flattening though honestly I should do an FBA on this but I was being lazy / testing the fit straight out of the packet. My goal was a soft comfortable bra to wear during hot weather and in that respect I’ve succeeded as it is comfy and good for hot weather.
This textured strapping was used on my test Harriet Bra and it’s super cute but the drawback is it is quite stiff. Good for feeling firm and keeping things in place but a right pain when trying to thread it through O rings and Sliders. I almost gave up it was so difficult. I got there in the end and hope it softens up some more with washing and wear.
Keeping the straps long I turned them into a cross over back which seems to suit the high neckline. It’s good on really hot days but the single line of elastic along the base can be slightly irritating. Next time I want to try adding a different back to see if it helps alleviate the slight cutting in feeling I get along my sides.
Pattern: Sophie Hines Euler Bra with mod pack
Fabric: bamboo jersey, stretch mesh, printed stretch mesh and elastic/strapping all from Pitt Trading
Alterations: next time alter back to not be a single line of elastic and change straps to not be a cross over
Every so often I fall in love with a piece of fabric, colour and print and big motivating factors and well this fabric it was one of those swoon at first sight type moments. It came in during a shipment of designer fabrics when I was working at 
Then when making this bra I decided to take the multi hued elements of the print and step further and use non matching trims to make the bra. Bt rights, this many colours, types and print mixed together should be a dogs breakfast. But it’s not it all came together in one of my most favourite makes ever.
The pattern is another Cloth Habit Harriet Bra with a few extra modifications. On my original I added some extra to the lower cup so I sat down into the cup more and adjusted the seam allowance at the bridge to allow it to be fractionally wider so the wires didn’t sit on top of each other.
These changes I was happy with but I want a little bt more projection and lift. When I wear the pink one I totally want to pinch out a section at the top to bring everything up. So I did, well sort of. Using 
With these changes I think I’ve got the fit almost perfect for me, they are super comfortable to wear and I like the shape they give me, it’s not the high rounded shape of a full moulded foam cup but honestly am over that look anyway.
