Karen’s Story

I am Karen Sharp.  I have never had a comfortable bra IN MY LIFE.  After a bout with breast cancer, I decided to start sewing again.  I hadn’t sewn in quite some time.  A friend of mine in Angela Wolf’s group told me about the Bee.  I decided to try it!  I LOVED the information there.  I purchased the beginner bee.  Then I upgraded to the main bee.  Then I upgraded to one year access!  I have learned so much from the Bee.  

 

My first bra was the pink Sahaara.  I bought the kit for the Bee and completed it within a week.  It is sooo comfortable.  I felt so good about my make that I had to make another.  I chose to use black lace over white cup fabric.  The black bled onto the white, so that was a bit of a mess.  It still looks good, though!  Lesson learned!

 

As I have learned more about fitting, I will be remaking the Sahaara to fit myself even better.  

 

If you are considering making a bra, just try it.  It is just fabric!  You will also learn a lot about fitting and techniques that you can use in your other sewing projects.
