Patterns for Pirates – Fierce Bra

If you haven’t heard, Patterns for Pirates (P4P) recently released the Fierce Bra and Fierce Undies in both Women’s and Youth. So stinking cute!

Spoiler alert, I am pretty sure this is my new favorite bra! I also just ordered a bunch of 1” fold over elastic so I can make a handful of these. I am so excited! I don’t suggest going to Joann’s for your elastic. Expensive and they only have white and black in 1”. There are a lot of cute colors in 5/8”, but it’s too thin and not wide enough. Don’t even think about trying it. You will be disappointed. I just ordered my elastic from WillowKat&Mouse on Etsy. There are a handful of other places to get elastic from, just make sure the fold over elastic is 1”.

One great thing about this pattern is that it has three bust options: regular as well as a small and full bust adjustment pieces. The fold over elastic and exposed waistband elastic makes this such a quick and easy sew! There also is an option for removable cups! Depending on the fabric used, this bra can be low to medium impact. I already wore mine to the gym! You can line it with powermesh/net for lots more support or use double brushed poly for a super soft and comfy lounge bra. Honestly, you can’t go wrong no matter what you choose. The only thing I’ll do different for my next one is slightly shorten the outer straps (personal preference). Other than that, it’s perfect!

P4P also just hit 120k members in their Facebook group and are having a HUGE Fall in Love with Sewing sale (30% off sitewide, code will show up at checkout) and a crazy giveaway with an awesome grand prize! You just have to sew any P4P pattern (with no changes to the pattern other than fit) now through the 18th, take a picture and share away with #p4plovesewing. Share each make on all the different social media platforms for more entries! (You just can’t enter the same item on the same platform more than once.) This is also the last P4P sale this year, so now is the time to get the pattern you’ve been eyeing!

Basically this means you should be sewing ALL the Fierce bras! I know I will be! Now to find all my athletic knit while I wait for my elastic to come in the mail!
