Ninja turtles in the bedroom?

A TMNT loving friend of mine was recently engaged to another TMNT fan. 

Only one thing to do now! 

Sew up a ninja themed Sierra obviously! 

At first I was dead set on this fabric from JoAnn's.

But It was out of budget, and a little bit more colorful than what I was wanting.

So I went less literal.

The bra is a Sierra, and the panties are all self drafted. 

But I'll talk about those later~

Now onto the nitty-gritty! 

I used Cotton jersey and a poly stretch lace. Both from my local Walmart. 

Stunning right?!

Well my first step was to cut scallop on the bottom edge of my fabric. Then the fun part! 

Sierra was originally made for itty-bitty girls, no question there. 

So I had to add length to it. 

I measured her for the wrap around piece on the Sierra. I also measured her side, just below the armpit. So went I added length to the Sierra I wasn't going to make it baggy in the back. 

Wouldn't that be a shame!

Then I laid my fresh-cut jersey on the lace and tried to get the scallops lined up in a way that made sense. 

So sensible~ 

Oh and side note, I cut out all of my pattern prices with pinking shears. It feels more professional. 

So onto the back portion, I took a measurement of my friends back, from side to side, and applied it to the pattern piece. Subtracting an inch to since it's a stretch fabric. 

Then I cut my lace piece for the back and wouldn't you know!

It lines up perfectly with the side piece! 

So once I sewed it up my lace edge was unbroken and professional looking! 

I finished the top edge and constructed the straps with fold over elastic.
And all in all I would say it looks pretty nice all put together.
