Lace Bra Kits take the guesswork out of bra building by putting together everything you'll need to make a beautiful bra using your own pattern. If you need a pattern, we have a great selection on our Patterns Page, both paper and downloadable.
Who doesn't love a pair of beautiful, well-fitting dark washed denim jeans? You can dress them up, you can dress them down. This stretch denim is a wonderful complement to those perfect jeans. Along with a Kit Cut of Stretch Denim, you will receive Sheer Lining in Amber or Ink. Accent with Ink or Amber for a lovely set and don't forget a matching panty!
Ink will provide a beautiful match to your stretch denim cups, while contrasting Amber is reminiscent of the topstitching on a classic pair of jeans.
This bra kit features Stretch Denim and Sheer Cup Lining as the base fabrics. Add additional fabric as desired! One kit contains everything that you need to make a bra and has enough fabric for 2 with many sizes if you pick up an extra bra finishing kit. To get the second bra with larger sizes, upgrade to the half yard of cup fabric and add a bra finishing kit. Please note that we've run out of our mirrored lace. Your lace will come unmirrored, but this particular lace does not have a strong directional pattern. There should be little difference in your garment.

Sewing Notes:
The strength of our microduoplex fabric, which makes it so wonderful for bras, also makes it hard to puncture with needles and pins. This is true with most duoplex fabrics. Use either fine silk pins or Wonder Clips to pin (I find Wonder Clips work best), and a Microtex 80/12 needle with a smooth thread like Superior Threads So Fine or Mettler Metrosene to make it easy to sew. In my testing, the So Fine thread and Microtex 80/12 won the challenge of the nicest stitch on microduoplex, and as long as my presser foot completely covered the seam allowance, I found it just as easy to sew as quilting cotton. I moved the needle to the right to set my seam allowance at 1/4" since my presser foot is a bit wide. I find it works well to saturate the lace with liquid starch and let it dry before laying out your pattern pieces and cutting your fabric. This stiffens the lace until you wash it and the lace has enough body to behave well in the sewing process.
We offer all these pins, clips, needles and thread here on our site.
