Instructions are great. I’m glad i trusted the process and followed each step one by one. Take your time, the end result will be worth it!

Got an irregular spotty fabric and a dark grey supplex. Looking to take part in the 3 part competition. Looks a great shape. Cut out and ready to go

Perfect!

Perfect fit on the first try! The instructions were pretty easy to follow as well. Can’t wait to make another version! Used athletic brushed poly 190gsm.

This really comes together so nicely, fun to play with color blocking and multiple straps .

Love the end result

I wanted a boardshort pattern without elastic and this one fits my needs. The pattern calls for stretch woven, but the boardshort material i have found all has no stretch. I found that it fit perfectly without any adjustments for the non stretch material. There were some small issues with the pattern, like the pocket placement that would have me sewing it into the waist and length mismatch between front and back. Overall i am very happy and I will be making more.

Instructions are detailed. I did my measurements, but it doesn't fit right. The cups are too small and I need to add length to the straps.

Great pattern! During construction, the size seemed like it would be small but it was perfect in the end. Easy to follow instructions. Just a few changes - I had to trim the strap seams to make turning possible. I also graded the cup seams after I topstitched, and topstitched and graded the bottom band to the bra. Basting everything ensured no mistakes and everything fit together well.

The pattern is great and the fit is perfect. I have made 3 versions and I'm excited to try it with a more compression fabric soon.

My favorite bra

I love the power sorts bra pattern so much. I have made at least 7 versions and plan on more. 3 of them I added cups and made out of swim fabrics and use as bikini tops. I can go straight from a hike to jumping into the lake. The sizing and drafting and wealth of options in the pattern are awesome. There's also some strappy hacks online that are cool.

Not a great pattern yet.

This had a lot of promise, but the lack of type of stitch (straight, lightning, etc.) in each area created a lot of confusion. Assembly of the fabric an lining is not simple, and would have been better if the lining was attached to each piece (or section), rather than as an insert. The cup sizes are not accurate to the measurements. And I don't think it has enough support for larger bust sizes.

Top!

The fit is perfect. I've never had such a comfortable yet beautiful sports bra. I didn't need the instructions.

I love this pattern

I have already made two variations of this pattern and I will probably use it as my go to. The instructions are clear and easy to understand, there are so many variations you can make many of these and have a collection of different bras. This is a wardrobe staple.

My first

The pattern is extremely easy to tweak for the ultimate personal fit. The pattern instructions are very clear and east to follow. Amazing pattern!

Fit is amazing, it could be slightly more beginner friendly

I've given this pattern five stars because the fit is incredible and I love the bra! I screwed up a few things on my first attempt and I think a couple of things could have been slightly more clear… The dots indicating where to stitch into on the band in the keyhole racerback option were much too far in to the band and I ended up having to cut the band away completely at the keyhole as the elastic wouldn't fit through the keyhole part of the band.

I added a layer of power mesh to the lining pieces to give extra support and this bra is perfect for running. I often get chafing from sports bra plus heart rate strap but with this bra nothing moves at all! And it can be made from scraps so it's practically free :)

unwieldy instructions, no metric measurements

I have high hopes for this bra, but the instructions appear unwieldy and chaotic, partly due to the many different versions you can make of this. It would make sense to format them differently so you can look only at the parts relevant to the model you're making.
I'm not loving that there's no metric measurements included for either body measurements or fabric requirements. that would've been such an easy add for a $12 pattern. and one point off for having to create an account to buy the pattern.

Best Sports bra pattern!

Just made a test of this, since i've never had a bra pattern that fit without modification, but this fits so well! I don't have to change a single thing. And its comfy too, so without a doubt the best pattern for sports bras that i've bought.
Really recommend to all the big boobed girlies with smaller waists!

Great nursing options

Loving the extensive bust sizes and the nursing option. Really hard to find a well fitting maternity bra!

Power Sports Bra

I really enjoyed this pattern. I made the first one at the recommended size, but it was just a little too snug for my preference. Getting ready to make another one a size bigger using the regular bra straps hack.

Best sports bra I’ve tried

Sizing was spot on. I measured a 30e which sounded big so I made a 30d. The d fit, but I was a bit too squashed so I made the e and it was perfect and goes to show that you need to go by measurements! The bra offers great support and I was really impressed! So much cheaper than buying them!

Love it

This was my first every bra project and the first time I did princess seams.. Came together beautiful.. Was easy to put together with the help of YouTube videos and the Facebook page.. I have completed 4..and will definitely be making many more

Good bra style

Lots of options to this bra. I have heavy breasts so I widened the straps and added duoplex to them. I ended up with a very supportive bra.

Sizing is misleading, needs side support

I first made a 38D, according to the measurement cart. The front was not long enough to reach around my breasts. I needed another inch in length, and measured other cup sizes to settle on an F cup. Made a second version in this bigger cup size, and the coverage is now correct. I also added an inch more coverage at the sides of straps and armholes (to deal with soft tissue), and this added coverage seems correct for me. Drooping is not an issue, as I used a layer of power mesh in the front pieces, but I need to find a way to eliminate side curvage. Maybe I will play with adding a power bar.
