It has been quite a long time since I have sent a newsletter. I think the last one I sent was about 4 years ago. A lot has changed in 4 years. We just relaunched our website and have made a lot of changes. But the first major one is that we are verifying email addresses. This has a lot...

I was forced into 2-factor authentication about a month ago and it seems to have made things less secure. I was able to download my FB data this...

We are nearing the finish line for our Jackie Sew Along. I am taking a different process to create a Jackie bra. I clean finished the back neckline and armhole with fold over elastic and added a hook and eye. The first think I did was line up my hooks and eyes to the center back and cut off the...

My own Jackie bra is coming right along. Today I added band elastics to the bottom and trimmed up the armholes so I can use foldover elastics as my finish. The first thing I did was pin the double layers securely at the hem, then overlocked the right side of the elastic to the right side of the bra, right...

The secret ingredients - cut & sew foam on the strap and an adjustable bra strap. Here is my newest set of straps. The straps are a little more complicated to put together,...

Jackie Sports Bra Sew Along Week 1
By Jennifer "Porcelynne" Fairbanks
/ January 4, 2022
I have been listening to my customers and the greatest requests for my patterns were to make a front closing sports bra with an adjustible strap. It has been a few years since my last sports bra pattern, but those requests were always on my mind. The adjustible strap on the Laurel was a little challenging to adjust, so I...

Jackie: more than a sports bra

Thank you for stopping by my blog. I have so many things I am working on and I wanted to make it a better reading experience for you. I have kept this blog up now for 6 years. It has gone from Wordpress to Blogger and now back to Wordpress. Hopefully this is to stay. I am over ambitious at times, but my goal is to keep you updated with what my latest projects are through my blog. I occasionally post things up on Facebook and Instagram, but frankly I am way too busy to be on those things. Make sure to subscribe to my blog, which actually reminds me that I need to double check that works. -Jennifer |
