flyingcuda Report post Posted March 7, 2009 hello all, i have a small lingerie shop that i have opened up, i do my leather work there as well...so far just things like dog collars, belts, key tags and a few adult items..nothing drastic...yet i have been asked by a few people for leather bras.... i have no experience with sewing what so ever...well i can hand stitch my kids shirt or whatever..but that is it. i have an older sewing machine...waiting till i can afford a heavy duty one. i have no experience with patterns at all. i guess i should have taken home ec can someone point me in the right direction for accomplishing this? have a great day!

outcast Report post Posted March 7, 2009 For that extra perfect fit I would wet mould veg tan leather to the customers breasts. But that's just me. I'd go that far to ensure the customers satisfaction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted March 8, 2009 Thank you Denise, thank you. I spent over an hour running through sections trying to find that thread! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denise Report post Posted March 8, 2009 I used the search function at the top right. I put "leather bra" in quotation marks so it looked for the phrase and the only two threads that came up were this one and the one I posted. I am no expert in searching for things on the net, but this search function works pretty well for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
