Sewing a Sports Bra/Casual Bra
« on: June 21, 2020, 11:50:40 AM »
I've not really sewn activewear, but would like to try making simple cropped top style sports bras.
I have standard sewing machine with a variety of stitches, also an overlocker and a separate coverhem machine.

I do have some suitable fabric, elastic etc but not any patterns that I can think of.

Any suggestions on where to start?

I've recently purchased the Bridget Bralette Pattern.  I haven't yet made it, but it is on my To-Do-Soon List.  I thought I'd give it a go as she looks to be a bustier lass so thought it might be a better style than some others.
