As soon was I saw this kryptonite-ish print I was just like, o gawd! must have…. And, naturally, lingerie was the very first thing that popped into my brain. Well, of course. It was only logical.
Mixing up my sci-fi sources there, but y’know wot I mean, right?
Haha! I’ve gotta be honest, this set gave me such a giggle to make. I’ve been humming the Superman movie theme in my head the entire time I was making it. Really.
Da dadadaaaaaaa! Da da dada dadaaaaaa!
I’m pretty rapt with them! I think they’re super cute. Super cute, gettit? Haha. I think even Superman might approve. Or at the very least, Sheldon.
Sorry. I just can’t help it! The thought of superhuman underthingies just cracks me up 🙂
Technical blahdy-blah…
Well, aside from the loud print the set itself is quite plain and featureless, really.
I used MakeBra 2610, and McCalls 2772 for the two pairs of matching undies. All black findings and elastics. The kryptonite print stretch fabric is from Fabulous Fabrics, the lingerie elastic I used for the undies is from Spotlight, and all the other bra elastics and findings are from MakeBra.
And I followed the absolutely fabulous MakeBra Youtube tutorial when making my bra. Honestly, MakeBra is fair dinkum the best resource for bra-making I’ve come across, not that I’m an expert or anything, but just in my experience in making 16 of my own bras; that is my honest opinion. They have a very nice range of findings and the.youtube tutorial is the most brilliant little tute, well worth taking the quarter of an hour or whatever to watch, if you have ever been tempted to have a go. It demystifies bra-making and takes the difficulty out of it, but totally. If you’ve been intimidated by the thought of making a bra, please do not be; it’s really not actually that hard!
My original review of the MakeBra pattern is here
Those are the best!! I quite agree – superhuman undies give me the giggles too! And of course Sheldon would approve 😉
Love your super undies! Will definitely take a look at the tutorial, thanks for the mentioning it.
Wow they are super sonic stunning. Never dared make my own underwear. Maybe one day…
Carolyn, that sure is a Super bra and brief set. Must watch the tute, there comes a time when the scary thought of making lingerie starts to become a scary desire to make lingerie 🙂
Super cute underthingies! Go well with your moto jacket! Just watched the tutorial, which is really well done. I followed the craftsy bra making course which is very good for bra making beginners, I think, and good for bras without foam. (I can buy foam bras more easily but not cute bras without foam in my little size, here). I have got some material from Kantjeboord bought at a visit of Amsterdam with one daughter. Have to start after seeing your cute set!
Absolutely loving this set! I have a weakness for nerdy underthings haha. I've been looking at the Make Bra patterns – definitely feeling inspired now!
Haha,that is really a great fabric! 🙂 I can understand why it makes you happy 😉 Your lingerie turned out great! I tried it twice to make a bra, but the bras didn't turn out so well, maybe I'll give it another try with the makebra pattern. Thanks for the review!
One should ALWAYS approach the day with the superman theme in their head… (or, The Boys in the bright White Sports Car….)
Haha super undies! Excellent!
Love these!
Way to bring a superman to his knees 🙂
Gorgeous!
I'm on an indie making spree at the moment, but your Make bra pattern has me seriously tempted. I adore this set.
Definitely super. Thanks for the info and pointers to resorces, making undies is on my long sewing list
Oh lovely set – just remember to wear them under tights … Not on top of them 😉
Wonderful!! I want a set like that!!
Super! So, where did you find this fabric?!?!
thanks Noelle! I bought the fabric in Fabulous Fabrics, Balcatta 🙂
That's a fantastic print, really unique. I'll have to check MakeBra out.
Gorgeous. It turned out really well. It's nice to have secretly fancy underwear on, isn't it?
Lovely!
This is an amazing set and I'm off to checkout MakeBra as well.
fabulous!
Hihihi. . I love your super lingerie! Xoxo
Holy heck, these are freaking AMAZING!!! Seriously. Every lady needs a kryptonite bra and undies set!
BAM! Kryptonite woman, wow! I love that fabric, and I love how it looks as underwear :).
Love it!! Men will be POWERLESS when you wear your kryptonite undies!! Ha! Yes, it gives me the giggles too.
Thank for useful video!!!

What a lovely set! The black trim goes so well with the green and white.
Love lol so fun!
