My Beginner Bra-Maker Resources Round-Up!
Hi, I'm Helen. Or the 'Nellie' in Nellie Joans. I've been sewing lingerie for 11 years and have owned this lingerie sewing supplies shop for over 8 years!
I love sewing lingerie and I’m passionate about helping beginner bra makers start out in this challenging, fascinating and rewarding hobby.
I remember when I first became interested in sewing my own lingerie and how bewildering it all seemed to be, so over the years I've created resources designed to help beginner bra-makers dissolve the confusion around sewing their first bra.
I've collected these together into one blog post in celebration of BRAugust 2026 (a yearly bra-sewing celebration and photo prompt challenge) and the daily prompt that I'm sponsoring - 'First Make.'
Discount = And to make it even easier to give bra-making a go - I'm offering 10% off e-books, beginner kits and practice packs for the month of August. Checkout using the code FIRSTMAKE - Valid between 1 - 31 Aug midnight (NZST)
