Ooh la la Pin Up Sew-Along... with a giveaway, of course!

Ladies, I present the Ooh la la Pin-Up Sew-Along:


I've been talking for a while with a fellow blogger about doing a joint sew-along and now it's finally happening! The lovely and talented Sarah from Ohh Lulu is even more interested in lingerie than I am, if that's possible. And she's good at it too, enough to open a lovely shop of her own on etsy.

Sarah and I have decided to start with the French Pin-Up Corset Garter Belt pattern that I just recently finished.


If all goes according to plan, we'll also follow up with the French Pin-Up Bra Corselet.


And of course I would never do a Sew-Along without a coupon code! Take 15% off using the code "OOHLALA". Make sure that you click on the "Apply shop coupon code" link to add the code, otherwise etsy will charge you the full amount.

Sarah and I are working as we speak on our corset garter belts and we'll start posting soon, but not before you have a chance to gather some of the things you might need. I'll be working with a vintage peach satin for my corset and bra, and so far here's what you might need depending on what version you make:

I've got about 2 1/2 yards of fabric for both corset and bra.
4 garter clips,  (optional) vintage or otherwise. I recommend removable ones if you can find them.
eyelet and eyelet punch or 1/2 yard hook and eye tape
corset boning (optional)
3 yards of matching bias binding or ribbon for edges
2 yards ribbon or cord for corset lacing (eyelet version only)
1/2 yard ribbon or plush elastic for attaching garter clips
3 bottles of wine

Naturally, there's also a giveaway attached! One of you will be chosen at random to win BOTH of these patterns!
To enter the giveaway you can do any or all of the following, just leave a comment for each entry to get your name in the hat!
1. Leave a comment telling me what your absolute favorite piece of lingerie is.

2. Become a follower of A Few Threads Loose on Twitter, Google, or Bloglovin'.

3. Like A Few Threads Loose on Facebook.

4. Like Mrs. Depew Vintage on Facebook.

5. Mention the Sew-Along on your blog.

I'll announce the winner this Tuesday the 21st.
Good luck!

    What wonderful patterns! Thank you for the opportunity to win them. I like the way a good bra can make you feel, but have in recent years become very, very, fond of anything that includes garters. I have never liked wearing panty hose and tights are really just thicker pantyhose, so the discovery that I could wear garters (attached to anything really) has been phenomenal and they make you feel super sexy when you wear them (husbands also prefer them). Thanks again, and hopefully this will make me jump into sewing lingerie!

    Oooh this will be my first ever sew along, I've never made any lingerie before,I'm so nervous and excited! my favourite piece of lingerie is a black strapless, low back, bustier I bought for my 30th birthday in a really lovely old fashioned lingerie shop, where the lady looked at me for 2 seconds, told me what size I was, and then physically put me into it to make sure it was perfect. I love it, the boning in it gives the best shape I've ever had, it stays put no matter how hard I party, and works well under pretty much any dress or top. Better go get myself some bias binding and another bottle of wine x

    I would have to say stockings would be my favorite part of lingerie. I have a pair of black ones with a flower design and they are super sexy. I've been nervous about sewing lingerie but after looking through your last sew along it doesn't look so bad.

    I hope I will ever be able to make something like this!!!

    I'm absolutly in love with garther belts because A: they hold up your stalkings :-D (why you don't say) and B: because when you have a tummy like me, you feel like a million bucks!! When I have it on I just imaging that I'm Marilyn Monroe and other icons of the most beautifull decade ever!!

    So I hope I've got a shot at this and I will follow you sew-a-long with pleasure

    Have a fab weekend!!

    I think I'm going to have to go with a delicious pair of underpants as my favorite. There's nothing quite like the feeling of a great looking, comfortable pair of underpants.
    That said, I think I'd love to try this sew-along. It's not required to have a serger is it? That's usually my biggest road block when it comes to making my own lingerie, the directions always call for a serger.

    I've recently started sewing again after a few years and i LOVE your blog and etsy store. I have to say, I'm a massive fan of garter belts with thigh high seamed stockings. my great grandmother once told me that she used to put her stockings on with white cotton gloves to she didnt destroy them with her nails- I wish that we took such attention to the small details in everyday wear in this day and age... Thank you again for your great blog, looking forward to the sew-a-long!

    I've started wearing slips under dresses and skirts over winter and I have to admit I love them now! Not only do they add a little extra warmth and stop skirts clinging to your tights, they make your outfit feel that bit more luxurious to wear. I'm in the middle of making another one up in a luscious cream silk with black pin-dots from the stash. Just the lace trims and hem to do and I can't wait to wear it.

    P.s. I noticed your date for announcing the winner is Tuesday the 14th... it's the 18th today!

I'm not sure if I'll have time to sew along at the same time as you right now, but I will definitely be joining in at some point. I can't wait to see the whole process of making such beautiful things!

    This looks like a tempting project. I think I'll have a look at the rather fab fabric stores in Oslo next time I'm there. I wonder what would be best; a sturdy cotton foundation fabric with a satin back crepe as top layer, or perhaps a cotton sateen?

    And my absolute favorite piece of lingerie is my vintage long-line bullet bra. I really can't wear it out of the house because the girls are very hefty and that bra makes them very intimidating indeed, but it's so comfortable--the wide band provides so much support, it's amazing.

    My favorite piece of lingerie is this great bra that doesn't have a lot of padding, but still makes my little girls feel like they can compete with the big girls ;) I have one such bra that I bought from a lingerie shop where they imported their stuff from Europe. I love it - and it makes me feel, dare I say - SEXY?

    Well this is brilliant timing - I've been thinking about having a go at making underwear (though I find the thought a little scary!) AND I've been looking at getting a girdle/50s corset, though they're rather expensive, so I'd love to make one! Thanks a lot for doing the sew-along: I'll feel a lot more confident with a bit of hand-holding! And double-thanks for having a giveaway for the patterns!

    My favourite lingerie? I don't have any! That's one of the reasons I want to try making some. I'm an awkward bra size, which is hard to find and is always pretty expensive when I do find it. So hopefully, what I make will become my favourite item of lingerie :)

    I am not much a lingerie person anymore, I do have some fancy things I bought a long time ago from Victoria's Secret but right now I'm really loving my plain jane semi-bullet bra I found at Sears. I can't believe I went so long with round cupped bras with a light padding...I feel more confident and better supported with my new ones and it gives me a subtle vintage line under my blouses and sweaters.

    So fun! My girlfriends and I were just talking about making our own bras! Personally my fav piece of lingerie is a slip, positively dripping in lace and fitted perfectly. Thanks for hosting this!

    What a fabulous idea for a sew along! I'm definitely in for this. My favourite piece of lingerie would have to be my roll on girdle/suspender. It's super comfy for everday wear and has six straps to hold stockings securely. However, I would love to have a go at making my own vintage style underpinings.

    I liked A a few threads on facebook and my favorite piece of lingerie is the matching top and bottom in something lacy. Thanks for the chance to win such a great pattern!

    Does an industrial garter belt count as lingerie? It's so super simple, but I love it because it's so useful. I can use it for stockings or socks, and it's lines are so minimalist, I feel I can wear it with almost anything.
