One more universal truth...

...about covering a bra.

It's always worth it when it comes out this cool!

Even the number of pleats on either cup matched.  That almost never happens.

yeah..what did you cover it with??lycra? spandex? lamee? all of the above? ;)

[monkeybard]

Wrong, wrong, and wrong! In fact, I used t-shirts! Hah! ;) Mostly it was great, but sewing through high quality silkscreen is like trying to stitch through rubber. Not easy.

ah. kinda like trying to sew a swim suit. glad it worked, finally!

[monkeybard]

Yes, very much like that. The same resistance to the needle going in and going through. I seriously feel like there's some tendonitis in my right forearm now. Ah well. I need to make an appt with lemurkitten anyway.

Thanks! :)

For bellydancing costumes it's often the best way to go. Let someone else do the construction and then just adapt it to your current cozzie needs. I've covered bras with: stretch sequin; leather; cording; doe suede; and now old t-shirts. I must say this was one of the less difficult media to work with, although my fingers haven't yet completely forgiven me.

I was wondering if it was bellydancing related...though it also looks like Seahawks colors (at least it does on my monitor).

[monkeybard]

Eep! No! You know how I loathe football! But really, I think the green is way too lime for the Seahawks. At least, I hope it is--for their sakes as well as mine. No one deserves lime green as a uniform colour. ;)

you Monkeys are up to something, aren't you :)

Nice job on the bra!

[monkeybard]

Thanks! I finished the caveman vest that goes with it yesterday, too.

We Monkeys are always up to something. This time it is our Theory of Evil-ution. ;) See you at Saqra's?
