This fabric is a luxury low-stretch micro duoplex made of 100% nylon for a super smooth finish.

Your kit will be mailed to you before the classes begin so you have everything you need on day one. The materials include all the notions and fabric needed to make three bras in total!
We include enough deadstock fabric so you can create two practice bras as you hone your skills, plus your choice of micro duoplex fabric to make your final Sahaara Bra.
GET YOUR SPACE READY
