The International Bra Sewing Bee

Thank you so much for visiting our website! Unfortunately, we have suspended our activity at this time. For those of you who have participated in one of our conferences, thank you for your support! It’s been a pleasure to sew with you for these past 6 years. For those of you who have access to the 2024 Extended Access or 2025 Extended Access, please click here to view your content. We want to extend a warm thank you to all our teachers and other staff who have supported us along the way. Stay well, and keep sewing those beautiful bras!

What our Members and Conference Attendees have to say:

The International Bra Sewing Bee is THE best source of information to learn how to make bras and other lingerie garments. They have the best teachers coming from everywhere on the planet! If you are tired of ill-fitted bras or just want to learn about new sewing techniques, you have to lcheck them out! They have an impressive library of classes to address everyone’s bras/lingerie needs.

The Bra Bee was well worth the time and investment made in it. The event was very well organized, timely, and informative. The teachers and tech support people were all very well prepared and supportive. It was so much fun!

The Bra Bee (especially the Beginner Bee) was so incredibly helpful for learning more about how bras work, how they should fit, and why shape is important. After the first two classes, I already felt it was well worth the money, if nothing else, for learning what to look for in a bra - though unfortunately, I now realize just how poorly all my current bras fit and can’t make bras fast enough yet to replace my whole collection! If you have any passing interest in learning more about bras, I can’t recommend this enough. -

This learning experience was so different from most other conventions or online communities. People, both attendees and teachers and staff, were so generous with their time, their knowledge, and their kindness. The Bee creators were so clever in their inventive way of grouping body types and giving people common language to discuss their fitting challenges! And it's clear that everyone involved in making the Bee happen is so passionate and committed to making an amazing event! Wonderful experience! Can't wait for next year!

If you’re at all interested in learning to sew bras and other lingerie, or to improve your skills, the International Bra Bee is a great way to learn. You’ll get expert advice from a variety of instructors, and further tips and encouragement from the community. Sessions are online and recorded for later viewing, so you can participate on your own schedule and without traveling. Highly recommended.

First time sewing a bra and I have learnt so much. The Bra Team are very helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoyed all the classes and I felt comfortable in the community. If you are thinking about sewing a bra and not sure where to start I would highly recommend the Bra Bee

I have participated in the Bra Bee for 2 years and have learned so much. I have been able to make bras that fit and are beautiful too. I highly recommend the Bee to anyone interested in making their own bras. The teachers are not only instructive, but also creative, inspiring, and fun
