It's time to sew along with Monica! This kit has everything that you'll need to complete the project in whichever of the variations that you prefer.
I must admit, I'm a print girl. I love a cute print, and I love the casual look, comfort and charm of a cute knit print on my bras and undies. I'm also a fan of foam--not to add any volume, but to create a smooth look under my clothes. I'm not a fan of letting my anatomy show through my garments! This project marries all these things together, a cute print, comfy bamboo (we have undies to match) and a smooth look. I love it for everyday wear.
We've sourced all sorts of wonderful fabrics, colors and laces for all of our bras, and these prints pull everything together. We have 3 choices on the warm side of things, 3 choices on the cool side of things and then a bit of a wild card! This is the place to let your inner designer play. Choose your favorite accent color to pull all your garments from Bra Bee '23 together. You'll love Monica's in-depth instruction and approachable style. Monica is a bra sewing institution, and you learn so much just from listening to her speak on any subject.
We are offering our bra kits in 2 sizes, Larger and Smaller. The primary difference is in the size of the findings and the weight of the power net. The secondary difference is in the amount of cup fabric. If you want the larger amount of cup fabric, just upgrade the cup. This gives you more fabric but the correct size findings and weight of power net. You can also upgrade to include matching thread and an additional Bra Finishing Kit. Many women can get 2 bras with our kits. Get your pattern here.
