Instructions
-
Assemble and cut out your basic bralette pattern.
-
Place your pattern on the fold of your fabric and cut.
-
With the right side of your fabric together, (the pretty side of your fabric) pin the center back seam together and sew.
-
Wrap a piece of 3/8” elastic and wrap around your ribs so it’s fitted, but not stretched too tight. Trim to size.
-
Use a zig zag stitch to sew the ends together and create a circle.
-
Hold the seam of your elastic in one hand and stretch it slightly between your hands to find the opposite end. Mark it with a pin. Then, bring those two points together in the center to find the opposite ends of the elastic and pin. You should have a circular elastic with 4 points marking each quarter.
