  • In this video I go through the steps of constructing a basic bra. For more information on bra construction and fit I recommend Beverly Johnson's Craftsy course Sew Bras: Construction and Fit available on Bluprint.

    Really like this video. If i could make a suggestion though. For tutorials especially for beginners could you explain what stitch you are using and use a contrasting coloured thread so we can see what each part should look like xx

    This is one of the most informative and overall best bra construction videos I've watched. The videography is great, the music is not annoying or too loud. Thank you, it's much appreciated... Just a shame it doesn't have more views because I've been looking for a video like this for a long time.

    I love this lesson. The host shows us a large sample of the 100% Poly Tricot fabric, and we can really see what is going into making the cups and frame. I love the drape on this stuff, and think about
    how lovely it would drape below a blouse with a Yoke! Gorgeous!
    I really appreciate how she takes us through all the steps of sewing the pieces in order to build upon the next piece.
    Thanks Sis!

  • @dsddala467
    @dsddala467 Před 3 lety

    This was immensely helpful! I created my own pattern from a bra I bought that I liked the shape of, using all breathable, natural fabrics because I have large chest, and live in the Sacramento Valley of California where it gets above 100 degree in the summer, and beneath my breasts and under them is usually a sweaty mess where I get a rash due to synthetic fabrics! Using cotton and thin merino wool for wicking and dissipation of the sweat and padding (privacy). This will help me sew it together, because I have been staring at the cut pieces all week, unsure where to start. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Really enjoyed this. However struggled with the black on black. I would have liked that the thread and the 'binding' were different colours to allow us to see the positioning and the types of stitches used.

      Looks like Pin-Up Girls “Classic”

    • @lynn858
      @lynn858 Před 3 lety

      Apparently it’s self drafted, but Pin-Up Girls “Classic”, with cups closer to “Ruby”. Both are full band bras. The mention of Beverly Johnson at the end explains why, since that’s where those patterns come from, and why the methodology is near identical to a Pin-Up Girls patterns.
      It’s nice to see this for free though. Working from just the paper pattern without either the craftsy videos OR the bra making book (extra cost) would have been a bit more difficult, and this would have cleared some things up for me.
      But, this was a severe level up for someone who can barely put a waist band on a skirt, and I also want to learn bra making as a concept. If you’re coming at it from the perspective of wanting to make this particular bra pattern, and aren’t asking “why” about every single detail, you’ll probably be fine.

      Kathy, you can use a pattern or draft your own bra according to your measurements. Let me know if you need more info in terms of patterns, books and videos.

      I don''t stretch the elastic. Some patterns may call for stretching the band elastic but this is a self drafted pattern.
