    About a month ago there was a guy demonstrating bra making...and at first I thought he was doing a OBW. As we watched we noticed that he wasnt' ironing the fabric before cutting it and teased him about it...and the older lady with him laughed - saying that she keeps pointing that out also! His finished products were really colorful being that he was using yardage we would use in quilting.

    You have a lot of talent to make those up! :thumbup:

    Thank you ladies for all your encouraging comments.
    To those that have sent me a PM, thank you.
    However, I can not answer all your questions. My very strong suggestion is to contact NeedleNookFabrics 316-684-3812. They are very pleasant to work with.
    Sewing to me comes very easy, without tooting my own horn, I've never found anything I could not make. However, only you know your skills. By contacting NNF they can advise you about making bras and/or buying supplies from them.
    Again, as I have stated several times through this thread, fit is the most important part of bra making/fitting. NNF can advise you about that also.
    I paid about $200 for my class it was a two day class and feel it would not be fair to the owner of this product to "try" and teach her technique though a tute. Also it would be a very, very long tute.
    Again, thank you for looking at my thread. It is a wonderful compliment for each of you to acknowledge my skill.

    I'm with you... I never even thought about people making their own bras but now that I do think about it, it makes sense. I wonder if they're hard to fit on yourself. I find sewing for myself (my body) hard because of the fitting business.

    These bras are beautiful!
