Lingerie Class

Hello! I recently purchased the lingerie class and I was so impressed with the instructions. I’m not new to making lingerie but this was the first time I had success from start to finish. I so appreciated the details of letting me know what stitch length is needed…this makes such a difference in the finish product. I also loved Heather the instructor. It was like taking a class from a friend. I haven’t made the bralette yet but I’m so delighted with the undies. I’ve made both versions and the fit is incredible. I’m looking forward to making the bralette over the holidays. Can not recommend this class enough especially if you are new to sewing lingerie, it’s the best instruction I have seen thus far. Well Done!
