New Course - A one-on-one bra making course
Ever wanted to know the ins and outs of making an underwire bra? This course has you covered
This is a five session course, you will book in for one hour (preferably once a week) with a time that’s suitable for you and learn about how to make an underwire bra. The plus point of one-to ones means that although each session is mapped out, if you are wanting to know or do something slightly different I can accomodate it.
I will teach you the basics of making a bra, including sewing a hook and eye, making bra straps and attaching underwire bra casing
Each week we will build upon your knowledge, you will start with the cups and cradle in the first week, this allows you to sew with confidence and not have the pressure to finish a bra, and then when you are ready you choose a size that suits you from the pattern given.
The sizes start at a C - G cup. However if you are wanting to learn a AA-B cup I can provide a different pattern.
So what is in each session?
Session one:- Covering fabrics, trims and sewing. An in depth explore at how different elastics work and the correct ones to use for a bra. You will be given a cup and cradle pattern and be shown how to apply the bra tape and underwire casing before moving onto the full pattern.
