Bra Class Recap

Whew, time is flying! I can’t believe it’s been so long since our bra class.  Feels like it was just yesterday that I was in Boston, hanging out with these amazing ladies, who came from all over the country for our workshop:group bra sm

Norma was the most amazing instructor. She is so knowledgeable (and uber-organized!) that she was able to address our questions and concerns with ease. Everyone worked so hard and came away with not only a finished and custom-fit bra, but the ability to make so many more. We were all pumped at the end of the workshop and ready to go home and sew some sassy brassieres!workspace 1 sm

I’ve made 2.5 more bras since I’ve been back in Michigan and I’m hoping to finish up that third one very soon. I also can’t wait to start Norma’s new panty patterns: the Montgomery Brief and the Kingston Thong. SO CUTE.

Thanks again to all who attended. We’re hoping to make this a more regular occurrence chez Grey. You can buy Norma’s book, Demystifying Bra Fitting and Construction, from us if you’d like to get started sewing underwire bras. It is an amazing resource. The Marlborough Bra pattern can be purchased directly from her and be sure to check out her blog here.
