2. Design your DIY bra top

I started by cutting out all of the good lacy flowers from the damaged top.

Then, I arranged the flowers to create two layered bra cups, and pinned the layers together.

I also pinned the two cups together in the center.

3. Add straps

I used matching narrow seam binding to make straps for the DIY bra top. 


And I pinned the straps to the top tips of each cup, and to each outer side.
