Sew-it-Yourself Lingerie Kits for National Sewing Month
PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) September 06, 2018 -- President Ronald Reagan declared September as National Sewing Month in 1982. Nearly four decades later, the ancient art of sewing is making a comeback, particularly among millennials. In honor of the month, millennial designer Maddie Flanigan will be expanding her line of DIY lingerie sewing kits starting this month and through the remainder of fall and holiday. The Barrett Bralette Kit ($40); The Madalynne X Simplicity 8229 Underwire Bra and Underwear Kits ($45 and $28); The Madalynne X Simplicity 8228 Bralette and Underwear Kits ($45 and $28); and the DIY Bachelorette Party Sewing Kit ($49) will be offered in new fabrics and trimmings. All will be available at http://www.madalynne.com. Additionally, Madalynne hosts a month-long campaign asking her followers to post any Madalynne lingerie sewing project using the hashtag #bramakingwithmadalynne for a chance to win a slew of prices that include lingerie books, a Jo-Ann’s Fabrics gift card and even a free subscription to Creativebug.com.
As a designer, sewing teacher and successful blogger, Maddie offers online tutorials, sewing classes and her own line of Simplicity sewing patterns. Her innovative bra-making workshops – which have been hosted as far away as London and California - regularly sell out in her hometown of Philadelphia, where she recently won a Best of Philly Award (Philadelphia Magazine, Aug. 2018).
On September 12, the first of three lingerie sewing video tutorials featuring Flanigan will be unveiled on Creativebug.com, a popular online crafting community. The first tutorial shows how to sew the Noelle panty; the second will walk viewers through the steps to sew the Barrett bralette; and the third tutorial will add more challenge by teaching how to make Flanigan’s newest pattern with Simplicity, the 8711 underwire bra and underwear set, which is available at Simplicity.com and at Jo-Ann Fabrics.
“This year’s National Sewing Month is especially important to me. Sewing is my therapy and with the release of my first tutorial with Creativebug, I hope to inspire others to take up the craft,” said Madalynne Intimates founder Maddie Flanigan. “I started sewing lingerie because I wanted a quick DIY that was pretty, feminine and fulfilling. If I can do it, so can you!”
“Our community of sewists are always looking for ways to make their own wardrobe staples, and it doesn’t get more essential than undergarments. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Madalynne Intimates to present gorgeous and challenging (yet totally doable) lingerie classes to our wildly creative members.” - Liana Allday, Editor in Chief of Creativebug
