It’s official! The article in the Costco Connection magazineabout the Fairy Bra Mother is out. You can read all about it here or in the magazine which is sent to all Costco members. On page 64 (way at the back..lol) But still…Costco Connections!
Dear Beverly Johnson and fellow bra-makers, thank you so much for the joy you have given me and the hope you are offering now. Some years ago, I started making my own bras following your classic bra pattern, as there were never(!) any ready-made bras that fit me (small breasts, large band size). I never enjoyed shopping for underwear. It always made me feel like there was something wrong with me. I never liked the "one size fits all" nondescript stuff I always ended up buying, and it made me sad to watch a friend with a more "normal" figure happily choose from all sorts of beautiful bras. So you can easily imagine my joy when I first got to wear a perfectly fitting lovely lacy bra with matching panties! I was over 40 and beautiful underwear really helps boost self-esteem at that age.- Now I have had a mastectomy, and out come your patterns again. I don't have to be frustrated by there not being any ready-made prosthesis bras that fit me. I can just go and make my own :-)!! Thank you, thank you, thank you from Germany.

I'm a member of Costco and I would love to see bra making supplies available there.

How exciting! Congratulations.
Thanks Robyn! Could you imagine – having a CASE of underwires on every shelf! Makes me giddy to think about it! lol
Congratulations, Beverly! How awesome would it be if you sold bra kits at Costco? OMG I'd never have to shop anywhere else. 😉
Thanks so much Alyssa! I will send it to Bodil in her next package!
I'll see if I can get one-I have a membership
It is only available to Costco members, so I can't buy one. However…..I will photocopy this for you to have!
Can you buy me a Magazine and put it with my next order?
