What a Lingerie Buyer Does in Needlepoint

My Camouflage Bra and Tap Pants Canvases
You may not know that the famous SharonG started her working career as a lingerie buyer.  That may explain seven pages of painted canvases of bra and tap pants sets on her website.

There are corsets as well. Here's a snazzy leopard print one. I'm sorry I can't find others for you to see online.  They are gorgeous!

I'm not the only one charmed by SharonG lingerie.  Check out what Robin King did.

Two years ago I stitched the above pair of canvases.  I thought folks would like to reread how I got from the photo above to the one below.  (I know some of you remember but there are lots of new visitors here at Blog.)  Start at this link, then keep clicking on Newer Posts to follow my needlepoint lingerie journey.  You won't believe what SharonG suggested I do to this canvas!

Hi Jane. Thanks for mentioning Kitty Bra & Tap Pants. I just got it back from the framer. It looks so sweet. I need to take a picture. I will be teaching my techniques for Kitty Bra & Tap Pants at the TNNA/Columbus in June. How exciting. Hugs to you. Robin

Photos! Photos! Photos! I can't wait to see this framed, Robin. It will be a delightful class for the participants at the June TNNA show. Congratulations on being in such demand for teaching.
