So, they had forgotten to add this! Luckily there wasn’t anything too difficult in here to do. However, I still hadn’t attached the front straps to the back straps! I went through the instruction booklet and couldn’t find a stage that I had missed. At that point, the instructions ended with the note of adding a little bow with some hands sewing. The cups were sewn onto the band, the wire channel was added and the wires added. Then it was time to put everything together. Then the underside of the cup covering is zigzagged on to the foam cup at wire line. That may end up with your cup collapsing which is something that you don’t want.Īfter you get the shape, you then mark the fabric and then remove it, The cup covering is then sewn to the inside of the cup and flipped around. The only thing you must watch is that you don’t pull too much. The fabric is pinned onto the foam cup and stretched so that it hugs the surface of the cup without any creases. My favourite part was covering the bra cups. This was very easy since both hooks and eyes have a little pocket into which the ends of the bra band are slid. In the picture above, I am already fastening the hook and eye. I decided to follow the Craftsy instructions since that told me exactly how much stretch I should add. On the Craftsy course, Beverly stretches the elastic only under the front band (there are a few special tricks she uses here). The pattern said simply to stretch the bottom band elastic while sewing. There was a slight difference between the pattern and the course here. The front band is made of duoplex and the back band is powernet. The first thing to make was the bra band. ![]() This changed the sewing order slightly from the Craftsy courses but I still used the course to check every sewing stage as I went along. My bra was a seamless t-shirt bra with foam cups. In fact, I think the courses are very useful no matter what bra pattern you use, as long as it is a proper bra and not a flimsy bralette with no support. My Amanda pattern wasn’t one of the patterns used in those Craftsy courses but the courses helped me to understand the basic bra terminology, sewing stages, stitches and the materials. If you are new to Craftsy Unlimited, you can take advantage of the free trial week, which is actually enough to watch every single bra making course! So, there is nothing that you can lose! ![]() Then I spend a few days watching Beverly Johnson’s bra making videos on Craftsy Unlimited. I have made my first ever bra! As I told you before I bought the Pin-up Girls Amanda & Alyssa sewing pattern and the bra making kit.
