PROJECT
Make your own matching set of gorgeous lingerie in this class, using our own Wren Bra pattern and get the kit to make one of the brief patterns to take away with you. The Wren Bra is a triangle style, soft cup bra with a crossover front. Super comfortable with good support, this bra will convert you out of underwires for life! The size range is 26A-42JJ and cup sizes G+ include an extra front panel for more support. You'll be able to choose from either our High Waist, Hipster or Thong pattern to make your matching briefs from.
WHAT WILL THIS COURSE COVER?
If you've ever wanted to learn how to sew lingerie, this class is for you! Suitable for intermediate sewists, the class will cover:
+ How to measure your body and pick a bra size
+ Choosing fabric and notions for bra making
+ How to cut your fabric, including tips for stretch fabrics
+ How to stitch and finish lingerie seams
+ How to attach elastics
+ Which elastics to use for different areas of lingerie projects
+ An optional fitting at the end of the class to help with future adjustments

WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?
This class is suitable for intermediate sewists. You should feel confident using a sewing machine and following a sewing pattern. You do not need to have previous experience of sewing lingerie but if you do you'll still pick up lots of tips!

+ All tools and equipment
+ Drinks and sweet treats to keep you going throughout the class.
