Sports bras can be incredibly expensive to buy in stores, but did you know that they are also very easy to sew? Jessica Abbott of
The Sewing Rabbit provides this amazing
Sports Bra Tutorial with FREE Sewing Pattern to get you workout ready in style. This sports bra is so easy to make that you will start to wonder why you ever bought one in the past! In addition, Jessica also shows you how to turn this Sports Bra Pattern into an adorable
Peplum Tankini Top. Happy Sewing!
Jessica's instructions are easy to follow and includes excellent visuals that pair with written instruction. Since there is both an exterior fabric and a lining fabric, the color-coding helps prevent any confusion and makes for a simple project to follow along with!
For a comfortable fitting sports bra, use a fabric with 4 way stretch like
lycra spandex or
cotton lycra. A few of my picks from the store:
You will also need a medium or heavyweight knit fabric for the lining, such as an
interlock or
ponte ::

Wow!! I have never thought of sewing a bra. Thanks for sharing this awesome post. I purchased few workout leggings from an online store and finding them very satisfying. Happy to carry them while doing cardio. Now planning to buy fashionable Sports Bra that is on best price.
