Have you ever said that there is something you would never ever do? I have. About lingerie sewing. I once swore that I will never ever sew undergarments.
I once went on a field trip to then Estonias only women's underwear sewing factory. Seeing all those lovely seamstresses managing itty bitty flimsy pieces of lace with skilled fingers left me in awe, and scared to try it on my own at home.
There were no notches marked on cut pieces. Everything was matched by the eye and by the assistance of templates.
For one, I was pretty damn sure that no home sewing machine could ever manage to sew such fine seams. I was quite naive, I guess, since the machine only really does half the job.
I don't really know what prompted me to sew my first bra. Maybe it were all the lovely Watson's that popped up in my Instagram feed? But I do know that Heather from Closet Case Files gave me the final nudge.
So I bought the pattern, did some research and sewed my first bra.
