It stops about midway down the calf and I was itc...

After one too man...

Finished project: Black and Orange Lace Watson Bra. January 9, 2016. Y’all, it’s happened. This is one of those projects that seemed like a dream, far-off and unattainable, beyond the reach of my nervous little fingers. But behold! I have actually made a bra! And by the time this post goes live, there will likely be more in the works! Summoned up the courage. Decided to give bra-making a go. I chose the Watson Bra. Third, there are no underwires so it’s relatively quick and painless to sew. The band was ...
