Empowering Black Women through Bra-Making

Nikki G began bra making in 2020 and is now representing the industry from a Black Woman’s perspective on making sure the comfort of wearing a bra comes from making a custom bra yourself if you know how to sew, otherwise wearing the right size bra is the goal, with or without underwires.  Nikki is internationally known as an instructor throughout the lingerie making community and she wants all women to know they too can make their own lingerie, no matter the size…even as a beginner sewist.

Sewing Courses

Unlock Your Sewing Potential

As I’ve always done, Sewing My Style was the name I created for this business. I wanted to create a community to be a home for all sewing enthusiasts, providing in-depth sewing instruction, coaching clients on every element of the sewing process. From the fabric choices to the finishing touches, Sewing My Style teaches you how to master the art of sewing your unique style with every make.

Whether you’re looking to try a beginner-level or advanced class, you can sew at any level. We educate you on how to construct fashionable garments that fit, fun to wear, and most importantly tailored to you. Many of our students join us with the intent to learn beginning sewing techniques. Soon after attending a course or two, our students tend to pursue more classes to enhance their skills and create advanced garments such as lingerie, jeans, or coats.

    Coming across Nikki’s Beginner classes was the best thing that happened to me in 2020. Nikki is so kind and patient, and smart. Omg she knows everything. She taught me things that my mom didn't know and she is a life long sewer. I tell everyone if you want to learn about sewing go sewing my style don't ask me ask Nikki.

    For 60 years, I’d struggled to find comfortable bras, paying over $100 to find one that was anywhere close to a good fit. When I decided to finally learn how to make my own (and the pandemic gave me time to do it) I tried for a year without any real success.

    Then I met Nikki through GBSB and signed up for her class on the Shelley bra. For the first time, I made a bra that was actually wearable, and it felt like a miracle. After that experience, her one-on-one fitting tutorial helped me refine my work and gain confidence in making those tiny adjustments that make a bra go from “just okay” to WOW! Not only did she help me with bra making, my confidence in all my sewing skills has taken a quantum leap.

    Nikki’s breadth of knowledge is amazing, her teaching is focused and friendly, and I’ve grown so much thanks to her support. She's worth not just every penny but every moment I’ve spent learning from her. And she’s a wonderful person who brings joy into every moment you spend together. In short, you can’t go wrong with her (and if you do, she’ll help you find how to fix it!)

    "I had the pleasure of taking sewing classes with Nikki Griffin at Sew Creative Lounge, and I cannot recommend her enough! Nikki's expertise and passion for sewing are evident from the moment she starts teaching. Her patient and knowledgeable approach makes learning a joyous experience for all levels of students.

    Nikki's journey in the world of sewing truly reflects in her teachings. Whether it was a bra-making class, pattern adjustments, or a personal fit session, Nikki's guidance and encouragement are invaluable. She has a unique ability to break down complex techniques into manageable steps, making even the most intricate sewing projects feel achievable.
