Valentines Day set

February 20, 2021 By Jo England Leave a Comment

Bella / Penelope set

For Valentine’s Day I made this beautiful matching set using the Bella bralette and Penelope panties patterns.

Bella Penelope set

I’ve been wanting to use this vibrant fuchsia pink lace for ages, so Valentine’s was the perfect occasion. I also needed a photo of the two styles together, as many of you like to buy the two patterns as a bundle.

One of the tricky things about making lingerie is finding all the bits and pieces that are required. Elastics, casings, shoulder straps, linings, hook and eyes… the list goes on. And of course, everything looks so much nicer if it all matches in colour. One of the ways around this is to use a nude colour like I’ve done here.

Bella bralette

I used a stretch mesh for the cup lining, and 10mm/3/8″ nude lingerie elastic. A 6mm/1/4″ wide clear elastic was perfect for along the top of the cups and inside the straps. I wrote a post on making these straps which you can find here.

I experimented with the colour thread I used. It depends how fussy you are (sometimes I am, sometimes I’m not – depends on my mood!) I ended up redoing the underarm elastic and used a nude colour thread underneath and a pink colour on top, and it looked much nicer.

Penelope panties

The stretch galloon lace was quite wide at 23cm/9″, so I was able to use it as an all over for the panties front and back. I also lined the panties with the stretch mesh, and found an almost matching gusset lining.

The Bella and Penelope patterns are available on the website as a bundle.

When I lost my lovely mum nearly 5 years ago, I en When I lost my lovely mum nearly 5 years ago, I ended up with a little bag of knitted squares that she had made. It took me a long while before I could touch them, but recently I decided to do something with them. I ended up making 4 cushions, one for myself and one of each of my 3 siblings. One half has mum’s knitted square, and the other half has a square I knitted. I loved how my knitting was so completely different from my Mums. She was such a neat knitter, while my squares are a bit loose and wonky. Love how they turned out. 💖
