Bra School
Linda Crawford took all the courses! Long before Oprah told her she was wearing the wrong sized bra, she was learning to sew. She can tailor a jacket, paint with thread, flip’n stitch – you name it, Linda can do it! When she saw an article that said, “Learn to Sew Your Own Bra”, she thought “why not?” and the rest they say is history…………..
She fell in love with bra-making from the first stitch. There was enough of a challenge to keep her on her toes and make her determined to become the BEST bra-maker out there!
Much of the secret to bra-making begins with a good fit, and the choice of fabric. Sounds simple? Let’s walk through the process and see if you will, like Linda, fall in love with bra-making. Imagine being able to clone that favourite bra, to customize and make sure that it fit’s like it was made for you – because if you take the training program it will be!
Let’s talk about fit. It turns out that when Linda began her research and training to “learn to sew your own bra”, she wasn’t wearing the right size, but by the end of her first day in class, she was.
She was able to know what a great fitting bra felt like, and she promised herself that she would never go back to off the rack bras again! Linda was hooked – she was a bra-maker!
People tell Linda they don’t want to wear underwires. Statistics show that almost 100% of women won’t wear underwires because they have never had underwires that fit properly. If they fit you, you never feel them!
Here’s a question for you. Since underwires provide you with lovely shape and uplift, and they can be comfortable, wouldn’t you want to try one and consider becoming a bra-maker?
Answer: Of course you would! Linda will show you that when you make your own bra, you can do anything you want to make it fit!
It just keeps getting better, doesn’t it?
Here is another wonderful aspect about bra-making. You can make a bra in less than a day! You know those days, when you realise that you have a window of opportunity to sew, but it isn’t long enough to complete an entire project? A bra is a perfect project!
Ah, there is so much satisfaction in completing a sewing project on the day you started it. With a little practice, you will even be able to complete matching panties on the same day. Matching panties, you say. When was the last time you had matching bra and panty sets?
Wait until you see the fabrics and laces! Oh, so beautiful. You can be frilly, you can be plain, you can go wild with animal prints. Linda has an African collection, Leopard, Zebra., Giraffe, Tiger. She even calls her black bra – the Panther. According to Linda “One must be creative.”
What’s the best part? You don’t need a lot a fabric to make a bra, so you can indulge your new hobby and not stress your credit limit. Seriously, according to Linda, you can make a perfectly fitting, beautiful bra for under $20.00, that would cost upwards of $150.00 in the lingerie stores.
Now, do you see how learning to make your own bra is a great idea?
