Our Beginner Experience is a virtual 4-week guided journey to sew your first bra. We’ve set up an event so you can make your first bra alongside friends and experts. As a community, we will walk together one step at a time from August 24th – September 20th, 2024. At the end of this journey you’ll know your measurements, the techniques for sewing with bra fabrics, the order for constructing a bra, and how to make basic fitting adjustments. Best of all, you’ll have sewn yourself a cute and comfy wireless Loftus or Jordy bralette! We know you can do this. Are you ready to join in?
What You Get
- 4 weeks of programming to break down making a bra into small, achievable steps
- Pre-recorded classes
- Live community events to guide you through the process step by step
- Access to recordings of all of these sessions until September 20th, 2024

Meet Your Teacher
Sue Bra Builders
I spend every day chirping with joy like a little cricket as I find beautiful fabrics, laces, elastics and tools for you. I am eager to give every budding bra builder the tools, materials and advice that I needed as I began my bra-making journey, and to support every bra builder as they create. I’m enough of an engineer to care very much that what you get works really well. I’m enough of an artist to care very much that it is beautiful. I’ve been working with fabrics and sewing for a very long time, so I choose the best that I can find.
