Description

Hello everyone! In this course we are going to draft a basic pattern of bralette according to your individual measurements, and using this pattern we are going to sew a simple, but very delicate and beautiful lace bralette/triangle bra. I explain how to take the necessary measurements (totally 5), what is a stretch factor, why we need it and how to calculate it, how to draft the pattern step by step, how to trace it to the tracing paper, how to add seam allowances, how to mark a grainline (in case if in the future you will want to make the bralette out of mesh or cotton fabric), what materials we need to use for sewing the bralette (lace, elastics and etc.), what threads and needles we need for sewing this bralette, what materials we need for making the pattern and so on. I show a simple way of processing the seams, so that anyone can sew this bralette. Also I explain each step in detail. I have also added a Word File to each video (except for the introduction and conclusion), where you will find the text of the video, and in the file with the drafting the pattern I have added an example of the calculation formulas that we will need (using my personal measurements as an example). And in the end of this course you will learn how to sew the lace bralette!
