Bra Making Library • Cloth Habit

What is a Bra Making Library?

One of my missions with Cloth Habit is to be a helpful resource for custom bra making, whether it’s through my blog content, patterns or courses. I wanted to create a central collection of articles, tutorials and answers to common bra size and fit questions.
