A work in progress....

March 21, 2009

So last year I decided to make a coin bra/belt set...I set out on a mission to collect coins and it took forever....I had friends send me some they collected..I even got some from as far away as Japan! I ended up having to buy a "lot of coins" on ebay. I bought some fabric back in August and finally in the past couple of weeks got the momentum to start. I am going to chart my progress. I started with a regular bra...cut off the straps and sides. Reinforced it ALOT with buckram. I halfway separated the cups tilted them inward and reinforced the space between the cups. I made new sides with buckram (and yes those are jeans) I thought that was about the strongest material I had for the base. I attached it to the inside of the cups and start covering it with the fabric. I have gotten alot done in the last three days...I am on a mission now! LOL
