Personal Bra Classes

YES, it's TRUE! We will be in Toronto at the Creativ Festival from October 22-24, 2010. Beverly is teaching two seminars this year, each 1.5 hours in length. The topics are:

1. BUILD A BETTER BRA - Did you know that 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong size bra? Why is one woman's dream bra another's torture device? It's all in the FIT! Here's your chance to get insider tips on how to sew your own bra, make it fit and be stylish. From taking proper measurments to step-by-step tips on how to make your custom bra, we'll talk fabrics, elastics, trims, wire casings, hardware and findings. SATURDAY 9:00 am - 10:30 am

2. DESIGNER BRAS BY YOU - Now that you have covered the basics of bra construction, let Beverly take you into the world of designer bras. Get the scoop on how to create a variety of styles like underwire, sports, seamless foam cups, demi-cut front closing, bra-in-a-tank-top, designer originals and more.

Sew a bra for yourself and have it professional fitted to your unique body! Our two day class is often enough time to sew two bras. The first bra will be a test bra, so the fitting challenges can be worked out by our qualified and patient instructor. We fit and you sew! The second bra can be jazzed up in many ways on the second day!

Imagine 5 whole days making bras, bras, and more bras! In Boot Camp, you will make many different styles of bras.

Which bra on the left is the original and which is the copy? You can have lots of copies of your favourite bra, by "cloning" the bra without taking it apart. Beverly's exclusive method guarantees the best copy possible with the least amount of work. We spend Friday evening drafting the pattern, and the Saturday making the bra.

Everyone wants a T-shirt bra! A seamless foam cup bra that is practically invisible under clothing is easy to make once you know the tricks of the trade. Learn to alter a band to fit foam cups, and see how rotation can greatly affect fit and shape. Finish the top edge with industry quality roll-over edges if you wish. Fee includes the foam cups and the pattern. You should be familiar with the construction of a bra, or have taken a beginner bra class in order to attend this course.

If you or someone you care about has had a mastectomy and bra-making appeals to you, come to this class where you will be making a bra with a built-in pocket. You will also learn how to make a prosthesis for full or partial removal of the breast. Making a pocket bra is not difficult once you know the tricks we use to make this bra appear as "normal" as possible. You need to have taken a bra-making course so you are familiar with the basic construction.

Pattern will be drafted in the class for each student.

Hungry for more bra-making classes? Why not stay an extra day and make another style of bra? This underwired bra has no band under the cups, so it’s the minimum amount of bra. The construction is different from that of a full band, so there’s more learning. This is a great second bra for beginners.

We use your bra pattern from any of the beginner classes to draft the pattern for this bra, inspired by a $200 designer bra from Europe. We made it better and you can make it to fit you. It has several features to make the bra supportive and just drop-dead gorgeous, including the four-piece cup, a lace upper cup and a power bra innovation that urges the girls forward. We've made this bra many times and it looks good on everybody. You need to have taken a beginner bra class and bring your pattern with you.

What does your sports bra do for you? If it doesn't support your breasts and keep them from bouncing as you do low to medium impact sports, then it really isn't a sports bra! Experience life in a sports bra that actually supports you, and is pretty enough to wear alone while running or bicycling. A zipper in the front makes it easy to remove afterward. It's not difficult to make, either as you will find out in this one day class. Pattern included

Vertical seams are big fashion news. Not only are the seams flatterning to any size bustline, but the bra itself is not difficult to make. The design possibilities are endless. You'll be drafting your new pattern using your pattern from the beginner bra class and learn how to make the most flattering design lines for your body type. Then you will make the bra you designed. Advanced level.
