BRAugust 2025 invitation to learn how to make your own lingerie…
BRAugust is the high-season of the lingerie making community and it’s so incredibly fun to see! Lingerie makers across the world of sewing dive into new patterns, fabulous fabrics and take time to create a new wardrobe the month of August. There’s giveaways each week and opportunity to meet and learn from members of the lingerie making community world-wide.
BRAugust will also present an invitation for beginners to jump into their journey of bra making…an intro class for anyone with questions, anyone who has tried in the past and need a reason to pick it back up, anyone who always says: I’ve always wanted to make a bra, or a panty…but I just don’t know where to start?
