This simple pdf bralette pattern is excellent for the beginner sewist and can be made from simple ITY knit fabrics as well as seductive stretch lace and several variations inbetween. It will teach you how to work with different elastics and how to make your own adjustable bra strap. To make the process extra-simple, I created a written tutorial for you as well a video sew-along.

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.
