Learn how to sew lingerie alongside Alison Smith, the U.K.’s premier sewing instructor. Start class with a lesson on what patterns, fabrics and notions are best suited for lingerie. Next, discover how to stabilize, cut out and seam a variety of lightweight, slippery fabrics. Enhance the beauty of your work as Alison covers a variety of techniques for incorporating lovely lace into your lingerie. Then, find out how to apply elastic waistbands to your lingerie — without stretching out bias-cut fabrics. After Alison makes lingerie waistbands a cinch, you’ll learn to create lacy shoulder straps, adjustable bra straps and silky rouleau straps. You’ll also see how to hem lingerie fabrics with confidence and complete your projects with gorgeous finishing touches.
Important Pattern Information
The sewing pattern on which this class is based — Vogue 8888 — is not included with your purchase and may be out of print — check with online retailers. This class is rich in essential sewing techniques, so if the pattern is out of print, we encourage you to look for an alternative pattern with similar style details. You might also be able to find the original pattern through a private reseller.
