Bra Making Workshop
*Kindly note: whilst classes are online now, we need to be mindful of any new Covod-19 cases and reserve the right to reschedule should we require it as it is difficult to social distance in a class. Due to the current health situation, we will need to insist all students wear facemasks during the workshop.*
Bra Making workshops are designed to teach students about bra fabrics and how to sew a structured bra. We will provide helpful tips on bra fitting, however, we do not have time to custom fit during bra class or teach how to measure for a bra fit. Be mindful that whilst most people fit into standard bra sizes, not all do. On occasion, we may need to adjust the pattern once or even a couple of times to get a good fit after you have made your first bra. This means that bra class is about bra construction, not fit. 90% of students will walk away with a well fitting and comfortable bra and 100% will know how to bra make after this class. If alterations are needed to custom fit more to your needs, we will try and make the adjustments to your pattern prior to you leaving for the day. We do this as a complimentary service to our students.
Bra Making Workshops are all inclusive. (pattern, bra kit, underwires and tuition). Each pattern has a number of sizes included and students keep this pattern after class. Students may select the pattern of their choice from the drop down menu. Please consider your sewing experience when making your selection. It is recommended that you have stretch sewing experience prior to booking bra making workshops. If you do not, please start with a wirefree optoin such as the Joy or Gail.
About the Pattern Selections
Bra Workshops include one of the following patterns. These bra workshops can be attended as many times as the student wishes. Some students like to start with a wire free bra or soft cup bra (the simplest to start with), then often come back for a molded cup workshop and then an advanced bra workshop if desired. We do not recommend selecting an advanced pattern until you have done at least one bra class.
Standard Bra Making Workshops cover:- BOO2 Bra Pattern, BOO3 Bra Pattern, Claudia Bra Pattern, Dart Bra Pattern, Moulded Cup Bra Pattern. Be sure you select the pattern that covers your bra size.
Advanced Bra Making Workshops cover the intricate or challenging soft cup bra patterns, such as:- Baroque Bra Pattern, Jayne Bra Pattern, Julie Bra & Briefs Pattern (Sizes 10-14 B-C cups only) Bra workshops only teach the bra portion of this pattern (you do receive both bra & briefs pattern to take home), Balconette Bra Pattern
Wire Free bra making workshops cover the Gail bra pattern, Kerri bra pattern, Joy bralette pattern and Lynnette Bra Pattern.
