I also read somewhere that Nordstrom will turn any bra into a nursing bra (add clips), but I haven’t tried that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2841001 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 08:23:49 +0000 bhbee 2841001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: the only plus I can see is that my work won’t show :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2841000 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 08:17:32 +0000 avivoca 2841000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Attaching the clips might be easy, you might just be able to snip the strap and attach them there, but it's fiddly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2840999 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 08:11:49 +0000 bhbee 2840999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: oh yeah I could never sew the real thing! (Nursing clips maybe ... big maybe :grin: ) But I had no idea everyone loved these soma bras </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2840998 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 07:50:57 +0000 avivoca 2840998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I am actually working on making my own bra now! I sew a lot though and have made several different garments before attempting this. So I wouldn’t say it was for a beginner as you will be sewing lots of curves with small seam allowances. </p> <p>But I bought my nursing bras at soma and loved them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2840967 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 22:37:23 +0000 bhbee 2840967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: @MamaCate: ok saw an amazing deal so ordered some. Now if they just fit so I don’t have to go to the store!! Thanks for the recommendation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2840965 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 21:51:34 +0000 LCTBQE 2840965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: @MamaCate: mine is from soma too! I loved it. About to love it again ;) I think Adira recommended it to me ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2840962 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 21:19:17 +0000 bhbee 2840962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: I wouldn't have thought to look there thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2840951 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 20:33:55 +0000 MamaCate 2840951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I have not. But I got underwire nursing bras from soma and was happy with them. They were not crazy expensive either. Which I know is not your question but in case it is helpful... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-diyd-a-nursing-bra#post-2840939 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 18:57:58 +0000 bhbee 2840939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve been looking at tutorials for converting your regular bras and wondering how likely I am to screw it up. I really need a supportive underwire nursing bra and it’s so hard (and expensive) to find the perfect one. I have a bra I basically wore out during pregnancy that I thought might be a good test subject, but if anyone has tips or warnings would love to hear it!</p> <p>ETA I can sew in a straight line but no major skills :happy: </p>
