What about trying permanent fabric glue? Not the wash-out stuff!!!! I use it all the time to solve a variety of issues and love it. Even used it to fix a hole in leather sneakers once that came unstitched....and it lasted through lots of abuse til the shoes finally wore out.

Keep going! It's great!

Better watch out. It will be the next thing the rock/pop stars and hollywood crowd will be wearing. lol.

Hey, Hey, that's great. You could do a great line in bikinis!!

LOL Funny!
I think you should send that to Madonna! I actually like that a lot! great work! Dee

That is so funny! I went 3 years ago to a Quilt museum in upper Washington State and they actually had a stairway filled with quilted bras hanging down a stairwell!!!

Very creative. I don't quilt my bras, but I do make my own.

You might get the best advice from a belly dancing site that has instructions on making these bras.I know from beng in a belly dancing class that a lot of the girls made their own decorative bras for costumes from following these ideas. This link may help

Can you slip the wire out then put it back in? :wink: These bras are so clever!! I've never heard of them before! Thanks for sharing!! :thumbup:

cute idea :thumbup:

Well, I'm almost done. I made bias binding and used a combination of handstitching with pearl cotton (using a pliers to pull it through all the layers) and hot glue. I may have to glue on a few doo-dads to hide some rough spots, but it's already overdue to be turned it so what I have will have to do.

I learned a great deal of how I would do things differently next time .......... mostly I'd just say NO! LOL

That is so pretty! You could actually wear that out in public! You...not me lol.

CUTE !!

I feel for you but I just can't reach you. I wouldn't know where to start. Looks good so far. Keep trying.

Hope you will post a photo when done!
