Description
Create custom-fit bras with your home sewing machine alongside expert instructor Beverly Johnson. Choose the perfect fabric, pattern, and size. Use stretch to your advantage as you cut out your pattern pieces. Then, create the cups, add the straps, sew the side seams, and attach the cups to the bra’s frame. Learn professional techniques for applying elastic to the bottom bands, top bands, and neckline for greater comfort. Build structure with an optional underwire and keep it in place with bar tacks. Finish your bra beautifully with topstitched channeling, adjustable back straps, and a hook-and-eye closure. Along the way, learn to personalize patterns for your unique curves: Adjust strap length, fix a gaping or too-snug band, alter the bridge between cups, and fit cups perfectly by adjusting their size and shape. Upgrade from ready-to-wear’s generic fit – sew flawless bras personalized for you!
