Bra Making Workshop - Thursday Weekday



Donna Whitaker of Curvy Girls are Chic, will guide us through making a Wired Bra pattern. Donna will teach us how to measure, cut, sew, fit, and alter a custom underwire bra.

In this class we will use The Eve Bra pattern which is a classic custom fit pattern.  The pattern is designed to work with regular wires but has frames available for other wire shapes.  The pattern is available in a wide range of band sizes from 28 to 52 and a large variety of cup sizes.

The beginner class will only teach one view; the underwire regular bra. This workshop has two options – evenings class less intense and held over four evenings and weekend held over two days.
