Although I love every part of the quilting process, sometimes I have to stop and make necessay things.
I made these 6 bras over the week end. They range in cost from $10 - $14 and usually last me about 3 years. And they fit perfectly.

WOW those all look store bought... that is great when they fit perfectly.

Those are quite nice. Can't tell that they are homemade. What kind of fabric do you use? Do you make them to sell? I think you could make a little extra on the side if you did. :)

I have one that looks like a twin to that white one. What a fantastic job!

They're beautiful. How wonderful to be able to make them - you are very talented.

Wow--I'm impressed! Wish I had the talent to make some for myself. It's so hard to find styles that fit properly and then the fabrics are so limited...

They are a little harder than you would think. So no I do not make them to sell. Fit is the key. I took a class in 07 to learn how to make them and have been making them since.
I buy prepackage kits that are either tricot or cotton knit. I taught the class one time, and one time only although I had other requests. You really need to have strong sewing skills to make them.

Those are very nice. I can't imagine the work that goes into them. I have never heard of classes to make them.
