When I heard Beverly Johnson had a new class, I wanted to take it. The London Master Class. It covers a lot of features and includes a pattern exclusively available as part of the class.
There are over four hours of video instruction. You can see here the different design features demonstrated in the class.
I really wanted to try the class, and pattern, but sometimes being an Omega shape I don’t really want to try a new pattern. Fortunately a close friend wears the same size I wear, but she doesn’t need any alterations at all. So I made up one without any changes and gifted it to her.
Here is the London I made from the class.
As pretty as this bra kit is I’m sure you want to hear about the bra, so I’ll tell you more about the kit below.
Okay. I have to tell you, the London bra gives some really good lift. I was impressed with that. 
From my first trying it on, it fit quite well. 
All of the pattern sizes are included in the London class.
So, do I recommend the class? Yes I do. I still think in-person fitting and instruction is the best, but if you want a class you can revisit again and again, this is great. There are a lot of techniques demonstrated in the class that are great to know.
Will I be making more London bras for myself? No. I prefer a lace upper cup like Margareta, Shelley, or Freja.
Now for the bra kit. I used a beautiful kit from B,wear.
Although I prefer a lace upper cup, this is still a lovely kit. The satin is so soft and was lovely to sew. My friend was thrilled with how soft the bra was, and how pretty it was. The kit comes with dark cherry findings, which go so well with this satin.
When I was writing this post, the lovely Noa kit was still available. You can find it here. 
Happy creating!
This was a quick sew, or at least it felt that way for me. I’m used to sewing a larger size.
Isn’t that the cutest? 
Just one more photo. I love this lace I used for this demo Shelley. 
It makes me think of Spring. I’m ready for Spring. How about you?
We had sizes from 2.25 to 7.5 in the class. So a very varied class size-wise. But something I’ve learned is size doesn’t matter when it comes to fitting. Women of all sizes have problems finding a well-fitting bra.
Isn’t this gorgeous? She made this using her adjusted pattern, and a really lovely kit from 
This is another lovely kit from 
Aren’t these just darling?
Isn’t that lovely? When I first saw it, I just had to have some. And I thought this project would be perfect for this material.
I love them! One thing I didn’t realize when I bought the material is the map isn’t all ‘right side up’. The continents are both right side up, and upside down.
So if you see this and fall in love, be aware of this.
I made a mistake that was quite upsetting. I couldn’t believe I did it really. One of the class suggestions was to use pinking shears to keep the edges from fraying. Well, I love my rotary pinking blade and use it often to trim seams on panties. I just love the look.
There’s nothing to be done about it now.
This is actually two different sized cups. I was testing to see which I preferred.
Lastly, for this post anyway, the back.
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. 
It’s a treat it is to teach in this store. They just had their grand opening at the end of June. It’s a beautiful new facility. One of the best features is the classroom is on the main floor. 
First thing when you enter the store, there’s a mannequin advertising the bra and panty classes wearing the tiniest bra and panty set.
The classroom was all set up and ready for us! We had our fittings there behind the screen.
Four women signed up, and I was happy they all left with well-fitting bras.
One woman was really having a problem with her fit. No matter what we did, her bra wasn’t fitting. After two attempts with alterations both times, and the end of the class nearing I suggested flexi-wires. Once we put the flexi-wires in her bra it fit her perfectly. It was amazing the difference the wires made in her bra fitting. 
However, before I started work on fitting a new pattern, there was the 
As soon as I heard about that class, I said to my husband that I would have loved to take that class. He said, ‘Why don’t you take it?. Sign up.’ I jumped on that opportunity!
