How to Make a Bullet Bra | Vintage Sewing

In this video, I walk you through how to make a bullet bra! My latest project was a 1950's longline bullet bra, and I absolutely love it!

In this video, I will show you:

* How I drafted the pattern and made a mock-up
* What type of fabric I used for this bra (the first one I have made!)
* How I sewed the bra using vintage lingerie sewing techniques
* How I created the pointy bra cups
* And much more!

I plan on making my pattern for this bra available on my blog in the near future, so head on over there and sign up for my email newsletter so you won't miss it!

As always, don't forget to like the video, comment, and subscribe! Let's build a vintage and historical sewing community here!
