GBSB Sewalong ~ The Ingrid Bra with Linda
This kit has been specifically designed for the Great Bra Sewing Bee event held 4th-8th August, if you haven't yet registered you can do so here.
Sew along with Linda as she demonstrates sewing the supportive and unwired Ingrid bra. Linda is using the Ingrid pattern from Bra Maker's Supply for this Sew Along. She has had the most success getting the lovely knit fabric to lay well when she puts a layer of cut and sew foam under the knit on the cups. It doesn't add volume, it just makes the fabric easier to sew without wrinkles.
The kit includes a vibrant Art Gallery Knit print (95% spandex and 5% spandex, 45% stretch) in colours reminiscent of the Mediterranean. Turquoise and navy bra findings work perfectly with this print as do the iridescent rings and sliders. The kit comes with both the hook and eye for the back band and the open ended zipper as an optional front closure.
