How to Make a Bra Extender

Ever have one of those mornings when it would be great to have just one more inch on that bra band? You can buy a bra extender but if you have an old bra that has no more life in it, you can make your own.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• An old Bra, Scissors, Needle and Thread.

1. 
    

   Turn the old bra over and examine the hook and eye section. If they have no damage, cut off both sections on the bra side close to the seamed turn over. It probably won't fray but if you think it might stitch the edge before proceeding.

2. 
    

   Place the cut side of the hook band section up to the cut side of the eye band section. The hooks should be down and the eyes up.

3. 
    

   Hand stitch with double thread the two sections together first going across one side then turn it over and stitch the back side. Keep your stitches close together to make a flat seam.

4. Hook your current bra onto the hooks and eyes. Your homemade extender will give you that extra inch when you need it.

Tips & Warnings

• My point is this...if we find at least one more use for any item before we discard it, we all win. Reuse and Recycle.
• We suggest you remove the extender when washing your bras and hand wash it separately.
