Bra making for beginners | Bra sewing and fabrics explained | answering FAQs about sewing bras

Are you a beginner to sewing bras? Confused about elastics and fabrics for bra-making?

Or wondering how to find your underwire size?

I’ve put together a little question and answer video on bra making for beginners. These questions came from my Instagram followers after I showed my last Black Beauty bra. The trouble is, there’s only so much you can say in Insta stories, so I thought I’d try to be a bit more in-depth here. We also take a stash dive through my lingerie fabric and bra-making fabric. I talk through the different types of elastic and fabrics. I keep on hand. I realised I completely forgot to talk about findings and closures, but I just buy the size of findings that corresponds to my strap elastic.

I’ve listed the pattern recommendations and shops I mentioned below. If anything is missing please give me a shout.
