Porcelynne has released their Complete Bra Making Course today. This is the course I’ve been reviewing for the past few months, and using to sew up the newly redesigned Eve pattern.
The Eve pattern is included with the course as well. 
Here’s what’s included.
Learn all about bra making fabrics, wires, findings, how to measure, fit and sew a full custom fit bra. This course contains 30 video lessons with 13 hours of content. Jennifer walks you from the process of understanding materials and to sewing a lace foam cup bra. Follow her through the fitting process on a very difficult person to fit – herself.
The course is available in a few options: the full course or as 6 different parts. The course is also 25% off until the end of the month! This is the first course that we have integrated into our new website (the rest are on their way) and it has a few new features. All videos are closed captioned and can be downloaded individually to view off-line.
I really have to say I’m impressed with this course, and the Eve pattern. While it’s on sale, now is the time to try it!
I mentioned recently that I’m having trouble with my hand. That hasn’t improved. In fact, it’s worse. So for now, I won’t be doing very much sewing – I can’t even sew up the last alteration I have on my Eve pattern. We were so close to fitting it perfectly – really. One alteration to go and I just can’t physically sew right now.
I’m hoping with rest my had will recover and I’ll be back to sewing soon.
Happy creating!
Do you see where the cup joins the side seam? There isn’t a dart in the cup. There are no gatherings along the wire line. No, this cup is simply designed to fit into this size cradle.
I promised to tell you something else about the side of this bra. Do you see where that red line is? That’s where my wire ends. Normally, if the side of the bra was raised up this much higher than the wire, the side seam would be flopping over. Not here.
This is actually two different sized cups. I was testing to see which I preferred.
Have you made a fitting band? I’m already planning to test some other cups in this. I’m also planning to go through Porcelynne’s Eve Sloper Creation course to change the shape of these cups. The volume is perfect – and I cant’ wait to share more on that with you. 
I used the Poppy pattern from House Morrighan. I made the size 6 but graded the cup to a B cup instead of the C/D cup in the pattern.
So cute! One of my favorite things about this set is the little hints of color coming through the bralette. The reason for this is the tulle I used to line it. It has stretch in one direction so worked for this. It’s this 
Above there are hints of pink, blue, and yellow.
Along another part of the hem is yellow, pink and blue. I really love how this turned out with these bits of color peeking through.
That really is an adorable little set, and I’m pretty sure the smallest set I’ve made so far.
I really like these panties. So really wanted to make something to coordinate.
This gorgeous lace comes from 
Oh, I love this combination.
I hope you all have wonderful inspirations that you bring to life.
You can see on the bottom here I’m not cutting off the seam allowance on the bottom of the pattern. You will need that – that is the part that is sewn into the cup.
Once you’ve sewn your foam cups together cover the upper edge of the foam with fold over elastic.
You’ll want to sew both the foam and lace cups into the cradle at the same time.
As well, you can change the shape of the upper edge of the foam, and have some fun with the foam not being exactly the same as the cup. The foam on the cup above follows the curve of the lace cup.
I do my best to line up the vertical seams on the foam with the seams on the cup.
I have a lovely black and red lace on my cutting table so thought I’d make something that would coordinate with that. 
This is clear to see, I used a fabric band for the waist instead of FOE. This is quite easy to see.
This is harder to see (although I overexposed it) I also used fabric bands instead of FOE at the leg opening. I wanted something just a little softer, and thought I’d experiment.
Isn’t that a lovely side view?
Another very pretty view of that lace.
I recently made the new 
Oh, well you know how I feel about these. I say the same thing over and over. I love them! I really love this 
Isn’t that just lovely? What a great way to make a matching set by using the same lace at the leg opening. Or do a little scrap busting by using the color blocking option.
I really like this pattern. It comes in four styles. Two briefs (view A & B) which sit higher, and two lower styles (view C & D) which are close to a hipster. I plan to make the hipsters next!
Oh, it’s so delicate and so pretty.
I had some copper power net and I found it went perfectly with the leaf outlines in the lace.
Because this is a stretch lace, I’ve lined the frame and the cups with an ivory sheer cup lining.
Here you can just see a bit of the copper power net.
Above is a bit more of a side view. Oh, I love this! The lace is so delicate and so pretty.
And the back view. I really love copper power net and duoplex too. I wish I could find the perfect cotton Lycra to match copper though. Has anyone found that? Let me know.
