I've long been wanting to make my own bras but was daunted by the prospect of fitting a foundation garment and didn't know where to start in terms of the materials and notions required. So I was very excited to discover that Thread Den offered a bra making course. With the disruptions caused by COVID, I ended up waiting a couple of years to do this class and it was worth the wait. The instructor Jen was lovely and somehow managed to simplify the fitting process. I now feel very well-equipped to tackle any bra pattern.

I really enjoyed this class as it gave me the guidance and confidence I needed to attempt my first bra. Jen was so helpful and her technical design knowledge helped navigate any fitting or construction issues.

I have made a few bras before but have always struggled with getting a good fit, so this course with a toile to test fit and focus on pattern adjusts was perfect! The pattern used in class wasn't my normal style and we had a unique method for taking measurements to find your size, I was very dubious as to my recommendation size but trusted in the process and after some easy band adjustments had a well fitting, wearable bra! The second bra still required some minor tweaking but is very wearable and I'm close to having a perfectly fitting bra pattern! Thanks Jen and Thread Den!
