Let Monica guide you to make beautiful bras that fit and feel great!
As lingerie sewing is increasing in popularity, it’s easy to get lost in an overwhelming sea of options and advice.
There is a lot of emphasis on creating beautiful garments, while many lose sight of the critical components of structural integrity and fit for support.
Making bras isn’t just about gorgeous laces and soft finishes (although those are nice!), it’s about creating a garment that feels great and can support you through all that life has to offer.
It really is possible to have the best of both worlds!
Bra making goes beyond construction techniques and having enough fabric to cover the important parts… it is crucial to create a well-engineered, supportive garment.
An excellent bra is more than just an undergarment.
It can transform the way we feel about ourselves and how we step into the world.
Join the Bra Making Mentorship
The Bra Making Mentorship guides you, step-by-step, in making high quality bras while learning skills that last a lifetime.
Getting started with bra making can be overwhelming. How do I know which pattern to use? What are all these different fabrics and which ones are best to use? How do I know if a bra really fits? And what do I do if it doesn’t?!
It’s easy to get stuck before you even begin. With Monica’s guidance, you can break through the confusion and get on an accelerated path to achieving your goals of fabulous bras.
Over the course of the mentorship, you will learn about fit considerations, patterns, fabrics, construction techniques, pattern alterations, and so much more.
The skills you learn in the Bra Making Mentorship will help you avoid costly mistakes and learn the skills to create a lifetime of great bras.

Course Outline
Your Guide
Hi, I'm Monica.
My passion is to empower you to learn
to create your own custom-fit bras.
I've been sewing, designing, and fitting bras for thousands of women for over 30 years, and I would love to help you on your journey towards comfort, support, and beauty.
I'm a nerd. I solve equations for fun. I think about geometry and mathematical nets and support structures. And that's what makes me a bra maker. My background as a physics, chemistry, and math teacher, along with a lot of experience fitting real women, allow me to approach the pattern making and design process from a very different perspective.
When I'm not sewing or making patterns and instructional materials, you can find me spending quality time with my two wonderful sons, playing in the waves, and dancing under the stars.

Can't I just learn this information for free online?
You might be wondering why I would offer a course when there’s so much free information already out there.
Here’s the thing: if you are someone who loves spending hours sorting through lots of confusing misinformation, and you don’t mind making a lot of unnecessary mistakes along the way, then you will be happy sticking with Google searches.
