Linda Crawford really loves a challenge and has always loved to sew. So, she was the first to sign up when she saw an ad for a bra-making course. To her unbelievable surprise, she was able to sew a really comfortable bra that also happened to look great. The best part was that it made the ‘girls’ look absolutely fabulous.
She took it to the harshest critics she could find, everyday women in everyday bras. Linda tested it out on a few friends and they unanimously agreed that it was the most comfortable bra they had ever worn. Silhouettes were sleeker, curves were curvier, and perkiness was off the charts. Friends told friends and a custom bra salon was born in what is now Uplift Custom Bras in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
Linda is a graduate of Mohawk College Fashion Design Program and the Professional Bra-makers Programs. She has many years of teaching experience in various locations such as Bra-Makers Supply, The Fashion and Design Academy, and various local stores as well as her own sewing studio. Linda is known for making the classes fun, and for her endless patience! www.upliftcustombras.ca
Bra Making: Custom Fit – Intermediate
Life is too short for pinching clasps, sliding straps, and back fat. There are as many bra sizes as there are unique sizes of women and most of us wear bras that don’t fit! That’s the real reason our bra straps fall down, our cups gape and our back strap rides up. It doesn’t matter if you’re an A or an M, natural, reconstructed, or enhanced: if your bra isn’t making you look sensational, it’s got to go. Join Linda for an uplifting experience as you learn the techniques to sew a bra that is professionally fitted to YOUR body. Pre-Requisite: Intermediate level sewing machine experience and able to sew a set-in sleeve. Minimal Supply List & Kit $55 includes a multi-sized pattern.
