Using Fashion Fabric

(New addition for the second edition of Intimately Yours)

There are two different options when using fashion fabric. The first option is to use the fashion fabric to cover the entire bra (bra cups, bra band and straps). The other option is to use the fashion fabric for only the bra cups and straps.

Option 1 – Fashion Fabric on whole bra

Cut only one set of lower cups (top to bottom stretch) and upper cups from the Fashion Fabric

Cut only one set to lower cups (side to side stretch) and upper cups from Tricot

Zigzag one upper cup of the fashion fabric to one tricot cup and do this with all pieces so that there you have 2 upper cups with a layer of fashion fabric and tricot each to treat as one unit.

Cut two bra bands from the power net and two from the fashion fabric.

Zigzag one bra band of the fashion fabric to one of the power net do this with the other 2 pieces to treat as one unit.

Make your bra straps using the fashion fabric as in Constriction Step 13.

The components are now ready to be sewn together begin with Construction Step 1.

Option Two – Fashion Fabric on cups and straps only

Cut one set of lower cups (top to bottom stretch) and upper cups from fashion fabric and one set from the tricot.

Cut 1 set of lower cups (side to side stretch) in the tricot only

Zigzag the fashion fabric upper cup to the tricot upper cup with wrong sides together.
