i always check out free sewing patterns! anything i can snag for free = good in my book! i also usually make changes to the pattern, to better fit or simply. i'm really surprised at how many patterns have an interfacing pattern to cut out.. i always iron my interfacing on then cut. so that was a new concept for me i never thought of.
i have a modern bralette i want to try in the future: bralette but i also really like the idea of making strap-y ones. but i haven't had time to flesh out this idea. i love looking at pin up and alternative, but i find myself going between modern and simple (geometric, straight lines, etc) and dark. a really good example of all three combined is ovate . then i have days where i really like floral too. so i feel like i'm sort of all over the place.
