Breast Cancer has touched some very strong women in my life.
This disease hasn't held these ladies back, it has propelled them forward.
MY MOMS
Yep, I have several...
It seems like such a small thing to do for them, but I wanted to make each one a little something to show my support.
They are always there for me.
This is the card I made for each one. I'm no poet..lol
but they will know how to use their new
lingerie bags.
This one is for
the first person I loved in this world.
My beautiful mom, Susan.
She beat breast cancer over 12 years ago.
If not for this lady, I wouldn't have the love of my life.
My Mother-in-Law, Norma, is one of the most giving people I know
and
she is a breast cancer survivor, too!
I had a call back on my mammogram last year and everyone of these ladies was there to let me lean...
'til all was clear.
I love each mom so much.

This one is for my dad's wife, Debbie
. We call her Nana because she is more than a step-mom and we just don't like "step."
She beat breast cancer over 7 years ago.
If not for this lady, I wouldn't have the love of my life.
My Mother-in-Law, Norma, is one of the most giving people I know
and
she is a breast cancer survivor, too!
I made this one for my mom at work.
Nancy takes care of everyone and never asks anything in return.
She just celebrated finishing radiation
and
everyone celebrated with her!!
'til all was clear.
I love each mom so much.
If you would like to make your own lingerie bags, I followed my friend Jen's tutorial over at
Glinda Quilts. I used her double casing tutorial and really like how it worked.
Jen calls them pants bags and says you need one on holiday because you don't want to have to put your drawers in other people's drawers. She made me one a couple of years ago.
If you would like the "We Support You" Friendship Quilt Pattern, you can purchase it for $12.00 by emailing Madame Samm directly at madamesamm@me.com
If you've been counting, I did make one more.
What can I say, I'm a bra gal
This one for another important lady, my daughter.
She supports me...
Thank you Madame Samm and Pat for a great hop.

They are fabulous Pants Bags! I love the detail of your designs and the cute labels. How wonderful that your life is blessed with these great women and we are all blessed for knowing you. Thank you x
Strangely enough, I would never have thought of pants bags. I use them ofcourse (pants and bags in case you were wondering....), clever you! I love the bags and all your mothers will as well! Lovely that each has their own style of bra too! Well done!

Your lingerie bags are such a perfect tribute to the moms in your life! They are all so pretty, too!
What beautiful bags and so many mothers to love and be loved by in return.
The bags are such heart felt beautiful gifts......I'm thinking as I read, how strange it is that all 3 of your Moms have had cancer. Awareness is a strong word in all of y'alls vocabulary isn't it. Bless you sweet lady for the love you spread !
Great bags for what sound like a great group of ladies.
Those bags are just adorable and such a clever poem to go with them. They are beautiful and usable...love it!
You've had lots of Moms to support you and nice of you to give back. These bags are so cute and will be loved by each gal. Sorry so many of your loved ones have had to face the dreaded "C". Great job!
Those are fabulous and look so cute hanging on the line like that. You have a lot of women that you are supporting with this hop and this was a great way to show it.
Beautiful bags, what wonderful strong women you have around you, including yourself!
What lovely lingerie bags. Each one is special in their own way. Its so wonderful to hear that they all are survivors.
Wow...you have been sew busy! SEW much show of support. LOL! All of your bags are just beautiful...I do like the black one best, and I love the idea of this bag. You are so lucky to have so many women in your life who are there for you should you need them. Great job!
Those are all just fantastic. I love the "drawers" bags... and your poetry just sings! LOL!! Great job!
Carla, these are absolutely perfect - what a great idea to make lingerie bags. Wow, tough that all of your Moms have had to go through this dreaded disease! I'm sure all of them (and daughter) will love their bags and the support and love behind each one.
Carla what a beautiful idea. You did a beautiful job on all of them Colors and fabric are all so special.
Thank you for sharing.
I have a few moms also, I think the bags are just out of this world. You did a great job and the poem was so nice. Great support to you my girl.
Cancer has touched so many women in your life... These bags are all absolutely lovely! Such sweet gifts to make for each of them. Beautiful treasures made with love - such a sweet way to show support.
These "pants bags" are sew darling, Carla! I actually had a thought to use this tutorial to make an accessory for my overnight bag but did not find the time. I am glad I did not. Yours are so much nicer than what I would have made. All the little details are so lovely. What a wonderful way to show you care for the beautiful moms in your life. Thank you for sewing your support and sharing your story in this hop ... <3 Pat
Stupendous! You've touched so many lives with your creativity!
Sew very thoughtful of you to create these lovely Lingerie Bags of Support for your Moms and Daughter. Thank you sew very much for Supporting and hopping. Blessings to each and every survivor...
those are some lucky mom's to have you in their lives too. What a nice way to let them know what they mean to you. in stitches
You are very lucky to have so many moms in your life. The lingerie bags are really sweet.
Your lingerie bags are just adorable! What a great way to honor the women in your life. Thanks for sharing!
Carla, You certainly have been touched by breast cancer - wow! When I was diagnosed years ago, I was shocked. I was the first and only one in my family and it was totally uncharted territory for me. Luckily, I had the support I needed. I love your lingerie bag. I was thinking as I saw this what a great dirty clothes bag it would make for your drawers as you travel. I always hate putting my dirty under things back in my suitcase. It would be perfect for that, too. I agree how you hate putting your drawers in others drawers, too. What a great idea and great projects, wonderful stories, and a circle of support. Thanks for participating.
Those bags are awesome and such a thoughtful gift for those who support you. I love them all.
What fun to make all those bras and have the fun of embellishing them as you wanted. What a wonderful way to support those special girls in your life. Glad to hear your mam turned out well. Support the cause and the girls!
lovely bags.
With so many so close to you dealing with cancer, it is very special of you to add a lighter touch with the poem. The bags are darling and I'm glad you remembered your daughter too.
Carla...your lingerie bags are just the cutest...and the perfect gift to all your Mom's. The poem is such a special touch!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing your support...Pauline
Beautiful lingerie bags. They will just love them. Love them all hanging out on the line. Cute, Cute!!
Oh wow. These are absolutely fabulous and I love all the color/fabric combos that you used. I'm sure they will bring smiles to all those ladies' faces each time they use them. Nicely done.
