We're not big on rules, but we racked our brains and managed to scrape some 'recommendations' together for you...
- Using a bra with moulded cups will give you a firm surface to work on and will look better on display...
- If you can't sacrifice a bra from your drawer, try an op-shop...
- Your finished bra doesn't have to be wearable...
- Don't take it too seriously, have some fun!
Yes! Entry to the exhibition evening is free, so encourage all your friends, family and colleagues to come along and vote for your bra. They also have a chance to win non-sewing related prizes by buying a raffle ticket.
Why, I'm so glad you asked! We realise not everyone is into sewing, knitting and crafting, so the raffle gives those needle-shy peeps a chance to get involved...
Tickets cost $5 each
Prizes include...
