For the month of BRAugust 2025, we have a few mini capsules that you will find delicious! Color family, lace family, complimenting fabrics and more. Depending on your size and patterns used, choose whether you will need to add additional cup fabric and/or any cup lining- and as Nikki always says, "you HAVE to make a matching panty!" We're combining pre-selected laces and coordinating colors to make it easy for you.
On the Fringe is a fun and unique tulle lace in navy blue with scalloped fringe along one side, perhaps reminding one of an oft-worn pair of blue jeans. Layer it over Ink fabrics and support it all with Ink findings. But that's not where this kit stops!
Your coordinating findings kit comes with Ink channeling & closure to match your fabrics but is accented with Mahogany strap and band elastics to match your second lace, Cinnamon Stick.
Your panty will be in all Ink so that it coordinates with both bras. Consider expanding your capsule possibilities by picking up a Denim Bra Kit (also available as a Symmes Strapless) and Panty Findings in Burnished Copper!

Sewing Notes:
The strength of our microduoplex fabric, which makes it so wonderful for bras, also makes it hard to puncture with needles and pins. This is true with most duoplex fabrics. Use either fine silk pins or Wonder Clips to pin (I find Wonder Clips work best), and a Microtex 80/12 needle with a smooth thread like Superior Threads So Fine or Mettler Metrosene to make it easy to sew. In my testing, the So Fine thread and Microtex 80/12 won the challenge of the nicest stitch on microduoplex, and as long as my presser foot completely covered the seam allowance, I found it just as easy to sew as quilting cotton. I moved the needle to the right to set my seam allowance at 1/4" since my presser foot is a bit wide. I find it works well to saturate the lace with liquid starch and let it dry before laying out your pattern pieces and cutting your fabric. This stiffens the lace until you wash it and the lace has enough body to behave well in the sewing process.
We offer all these pins, clips, needles and thread here on our site.
