There are so many free online resources for bra making. Several of which I didn’t discover until I was far into my bra making journey. I love these resources for learning new skills, learning how to make a specific piece of lingerie, and some just for having on in the background. Today I am going to share my top 5 resources.
Emerald Erin
Erin has both a Youtube channel and a blog. I used Erin’s Youtube channel a lot in the beginning of my journey because I wanted to get the perfect Jordy bralette. Her videos make sewing her bralette a breeze! She has a lot of information on materials and other sewalongs. Erin’s blog deep dives into making a lot of different bras. Erin did a bra a week challenge so there is so much content on her blog.Liz Sews
Liz Sews has an amazing YouTube channel. I didn’t discover Liz until later on in my bra making journey but I wish I had discovered her sooner! Liz shares so many different tutorials, my favorites are when she shares ways to encase all your seams to get a professional look on your bras. I use her techniques daily as I make bras. She also shares how to change your bra cups into darted cups, 3 piece cups, etc. She offers a lot of valuable bra making information for free.- MadalynnE
Madalynne offers both a YouTube channel and a blog. Madalynne’s YouTube has so many sewalongs with her patterns. I am currently making the S9850 and I love having access to a sewalong because honestly, I don’t love reading patterns! I love being able to watch the video as I sew and am reassured I am following the pattern correctly. I also frequent Madalynn’s blog because she shows how to make variations to patterns and other fun tutorials like adding ruffles! - Sew Busty
Lindsie is a recent find! I am really enjoying both her blog and her Instagram. If you need to learn how to do a full bust adjustment, she has you covered! She also reviews bras, has a huge database of bra patterns (how handy is that), free printables, a guide for beginners, and a lot of other resources. - Evie La Luve
Last but certainly not least is Hannah of Evie La Luve. I love Hannah’s YouTube channel where she shares pattern hacks, tutorials, and how to sew her patterns. My esthetic is very similar to hers so I love having her videos on as I sew for lace and fabric inspiration as well as pattern hacks.
There are so many resources out there. I would love it if you would share your favorite resources with our audience in the comments!
Thank you so much to the International Bra Sewing Bee for having me as a guest on the blog! I’m actually a “worker bee” behind the scenes of the bee. You can also find me on my website or Instagram.
Happy Sewing! – Natalie
