Toile 1- Sports Bra


After pattern cutting yesterday, I went straight onto the construction of the sports bra today. I used cotton jersey, which probably wasn't the most ideal choice e of fabric, and power mesh in the areas I wanted it to be (side panel and racer back neck line). I overlocked everything and had a folded waist band.

Whats needs changing?:

- Reduced the size of the front and back (needs to be tighter for support and compression)

- Use the cover seam machine to see what it looks like finished

- Try out the flat seam for comfort

- Bring the side panel more forward to make it more visible

- Make the waist band thicker, tighter

- Reduce the length of the piece, want it more cropped

- Try a lycra fabric for all, as jersey isn't what I want to use
