I finished my busty cup last night. Just wanted to report on the process. I made up my own basic cup sleeve but should have gone with a pattern (they are easy to find, there is even one on the loose fiber busty cup blog) so that I would do different but the rest worked out fine.
I spied a bag of cotton balls in the bathroom - aha! Boobs
Wrap some pink gauzy fabric around and sew together.
For the sleeve I started with plain white fabric with a thin cotton batting. Then covered with lacy fabric, then added lots of bangles and stuff from my stash. The boobs I first sewed down to piece of sturdy ribbon with a rope like piece at the bottom. Think of those wire bras that jab into your own boobs and you'll know ;-)
They needed that for stability and then I covered them with that great sequined white stuff. Lastly crocheted some funky pink yarn into a string and tied it around the top.
I hope that you try one for yourself and either donate it or give to a friend. I know you can do it!
Again the website for a tutorial
Whoo Hoo - she's gorgeous! Isn't it fun to sort through the bling and put one together? Judy and I had a lot of fun making ours.
