Once you’ve made a basic bra or two, it might be time to learn a more advanced style. Many women like to wear a bra made with pre-formed foam cups. Some people call them T-shirt bras because they are seamless over the bust. In the Intermediate Bra-making class, we’ll teach you all the tricks to cover the foam cups with fabric or lace. While foam cups are not available for all cup sizes, those between A and D will find a good fit in foam.
Rental machines are available for $10 if you don’t want to bring your own machine. Just let us know so we can have one set up for you.
