Hey guys, lately I’ve been enjoying the warm weather and have put away my winter patterns for a few months. Yesterday I began this bra top, and today I finished it! It was super easy and quick, not to mention really cute. Where do you all wear your retro bra tops? I think they’re really neat, but not as practical as a full shirt. I really liked the small amount of fabric it required- about 1 yard and 1/2 yard of lining. I used all scraps for it!
The finished product looks a little different from the drawing. The folded edge is small so it lays flat rather than sticking out a little. I am not sure how to fix that.
The shorts I made last summer out of this pattern:
Top: Simplicity 2825
Year: 1949
Cost: <$5
Shorts: Simplicity 4009
Year: 1962
Cost: $5
Thanks for looking!
This is so cute!!!!!!!!! I am toying with the idea of making bras because I get so frustrated shopping for one. The frustration comes from the price and the fit. Have you made any bras?

I am a retired home ec. teacher turned into secretary for a construction company. I do not have much time for sewing, or shopping. I think I have the time to make a few bras, just need a few tips.
