Making a Fitting Sample for the Cashmerette Willowdale Bra, demonstrated by Porcelynne

This is a very long and comprehensive sewing tutorial for creating a fitting sample of the Cashmerette Willowdale Bra. The steps contained in this video are not the same steps one would take to create this bra for final use. I did not speed up any portion of this video for the sake of beginners following this tutorial. For a final sewing video of the Cashmerette Willowdale Bra, check out my sew along class at the 2022 International Bra Sewing Bee for access to the tutorial.

Because this video is so long (almost 2 hours) I have made some shortcuts below so you can go directly to each portion of the video.
