There are moments in life when you realize that what you know should not disappear with you. For 15 years, I had the privilege of teaching a professional bra-making program for a college and then in my own school. I loved watching women transform from capable sewists into confident bra-making professionals who could solve fitting problems that most people never even knew existed.
In 2022, I stepped away from my business. I thought I would never teach another professional level program. I thought that chapter of my life was finished and that thought depressed me. But over the past four years, I have received message after message from women who wanted something more than beginner bra-making workshop or disconnected online classes. They wanted to understand fit in detail. They wanted to understand why a bra works, how to alter it, how to draft it, and how to create bras that could not be bought in stores.
They wanted a path to mastery. And I realized something that surprised me: there is still nothing quite like the program I taught, available online.
So I have come out of retirement for one reason – to create my Legacy Program, available to women who are passionate about bra-making from the band up.
This is not just another bra-making course. It is a four semester professional apprenticeship designed for women who want to become exceptional bespoke bra-makers.
Whether your goal is to create beautifully fitted bras for yourself, sew for family and friends, work with private clients, or eventually develop your own patterns and professional practice, the legacy Program provides a structured pathway to get there.
Most online courses give you information. The Legacy Program gives you mentorship.
I am not looking for hundreds of students. In fact, this Legacy Program is designed for a very specific kind of woman.
If that sounds like you, then you are exactly who I created this program for.
I have spent decades developing fitting systems, teaching methods, pattern knowledge, and construction techniques that go far beyond simply sewing a bra.
A well-fitted bra can change comfort, posture, confidence, and quality of life. Professional bra-makers do more than sew garments. They solve problems that mass manufacturing often cannot.
This course is my opportunity to pass on everything I know before that knowledge is lost. That is why I call it my Legacy Program.
My Legacy Program is divided into four progressive levels, each semester building on the one before it.
Master your own fit and perfect your construction techniques, with a deep dive into construction excellence.
Learn to fit and sew for classmates and make the changes you will learn to identify. We are going to examine every detail of bra fitting from the band up.
Develop advanced drafting skills and work with real clients. Learn the style changes that change your bra draft into swimwear, nightwear, bralettes and other intimate apparel
Step confidently into professional practice, teaching, pattern development, while entering the next stage of your bra-making career.
The Legacy Program is not a collection of disconnected classes you might take elsewhere. It is a carefully designed professional progression. You will move from skilled sewist to confident specialist.
The 10 module semester includes:
5 months of live virtual masterclasses where I check your progress and teach the next stage of your training
Class meet-ups in between classes with my certified teaching assistants for discussion, troubleshooting, sewing guidance, and fitting support
One private coaching session with me personally.
Yes, you read that correctly. Every student receives teaching and direct coaching from me. You will never be left wondering whether your fit is correct or your next step is the right one.
One of the greatest challenges advanced sewists face is isolation. The Legacy Program is intentionally built around a cohort model.
You will know your classmates. You will watch each other grow. You will fit together, solve problems together, and celebrate every milestone together.
Over four semesters, this becomes far more than a class. It becomes a community of women dedicated to preserving and advancing a rare craft.
Your journey begins with the class pattern (included with the course – no drafting required).
In Level 1, you will build the essential knowledge and skills that every professional bra-maker needs:
At the end of Level 1 Legacy Course, we will celebrate your progress with a virtual fashion show featuring your finished bras and the many creative variations you have created along the way.
I have taught many students over the years. I have designed many patterns. I have developed systems.
I have spent countless hours solving fitting puzzles that seemed impossible.
This Legacy Program is my way of gathering all of that experience into one place and placing it into the hands of women who are ready to carry the craft forward.
I do not know how many times I will teach this program. Because I teach and coach every student personally, enrollment will remain intentionally limited.
If you have ever dreamed of becoming the woman everyone trusts for bra fit…
If you have ever wanted to move beyond sewing patterns and into true professional understanding…
If you have ever felt that bra-making is more than a hobby for you…
Then I invite you to join me.
Not for a course.
For a legacy apprenticeship.
Four Levels. Four Semesters. One Professional Journey. Starting September 2026
I cannot wait to meet the women who will help carry this craft into the future.
For your convenience, there are 3 different payment options.
