How to sew8 steps
  1. Cut and markCut every piece with the grain arrow parallel to the selvedge. Transfer the notches, the dart points and the marks with tailor's chalk or a short snip into the seam allowance.
  2. Set up for stretchUse a stretch lace, mesh or jersey with a soft lining, a stretch needle and a narrow zigzag.
  3. DartSew the dart in each cup and in each lining from the edge to the point.
  4. LiningLay the cup on its lining right sides together, sew the side and centre edges, turn and press. Or leave the edges raw and finish them with picot elastic.
  5. StrapsSew the strap elastic to the top of each cup.
  6. UnderbandJoin the band at the centre back into a ring. Fold it over the elastic and baste the raw edges together.
  7. Cups to the bandSew the cups between the marks on the band, stretching the band slightly. Neaten the seam.
  8. Straps to the backTry on, set the strap length and stitch the straps to the band at the back.
