Sewing Your First Bra



Do you have trouble finding a bra that fits?  Not sure how to sew them or where to find supplies to do so?  Bras that are made to personally fit you can cost anywhere from $250 to $500!  We have a solution for you!

Join Linda Sepeda, bra designer and certified custom bra fitter and learn how to make your own bra!  Linda will cover proper fit, fabric selection, DOGS, layout and cutting out your project.  She will discuss construction, techniques, and special considerations when sewing your first bra.  

Before the sewing class you will receive an individual, private bra fitting. Allow 30 to 45 minutes for the fitting.  

In the sewing class you will receive the customized pattern created from that fitting, all of the materials and step by step instructions to make your bra.
