Cashmerette Willowdale Bra Sewing 2 day course

All fabric and notions included in the price 

Tutor: Elaine Bell 

Take your lingerie sewing to the next level with our Cashmerette Willowdale Bra Workshop. This hands-on class is perfect for sewists who want to master bra fitting, construction, and finishing techniques.

Sew Your Perfect Willowdale Bra

Feel confident, supported, and completely self-assured in your own Willowdale Bra! This full-frame underwire bra features a 4-piece cup design for essential lift and a beautifully rounded shape, specially designed for larger busts with over 120 sizes to help you get the perfect fit.

Choose between View A, with a stretch lace upper cup and solid body, or View B, featuring an all-over lace design with an optional decorative lace edge on the bottom band. Both versions include:

• Lined cups with enclosed seams for a smooth finish

• Power mesh back for stability and support

• Adjustable straps for a custom fit

• Stretch lace upper cup that molds to your unique shape

Perfect for low- to no-stretch fabrics, the Willowdale Bra workshop gives you the skills and confidence to create a bra that fits beautifully and feels amazing.

In this course, you’ll create a test bra (muslin) first to ensure the perfect fit. Once your fit is perfected, you’ll move on to sew your final bra in your chosen fabric and style, learning expert techniques along the way.

What you’ll learn:

• How to choose your size and make adjustments using the Cashmerette Willowdale pattern

• Understanding bra components: cups, underwires, straps, bands, and closures

• Sewing techniques for supportive, professional-quality bras

• Finishing tips for neat edges and durability

What’s included:

• Step-by-step tuition from an experienced instructor

• Assistance with pattern alterations and fit adjustments

• Use of sewing machines and specialized bra-making tools

• Support throughout the fitting and sewing process

Included in the Workshop 

• All bra fabrics and fittings (bra wire not included)

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a perfectly fitted Willowdale bra and the confidence to make more lingerie at home.
