About me:
I'm Jennifer Fairbanks. I'm the founder, designer and jack of all trades at Porcelynne, a specialty & lingerie supply shop. (www.porcelynne.com). I have been instructing sewing and fashion design for about 20 years and authored the Bare Essentials lingerie design and construction book series. I am also the author of Fashion Unraveled.
I am currently working on creating downloadable patterns for a wide range of sizes and am allowing my patterns to be used for businesses.
I am also beginning to teach my 5 year old daughter how to sew. I have started work on a series of videos called "Sewing with a 5 Year Old." They are less about doing and more about interaction of teaching a child to sew.
Check out my blog with details on all our videos, patterns, software and products at blog.porcelynne.... You can comment on our videos or ask questions on things we did. Look for the corresponding blog post to get more insider info.

I finally sewed the zipper in a sweater that I had finished knitting 10 years ago. I was afraid of sewing the zipper in, but it was actually pretty easy.
Now you can wear it.
Your daughter cuts a perfect circle! I recently finished a blouse that I started over thirty years ago and it fits - sort of.
Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for this pattern and tutorial. It took me the time of watching your tutorial twice in a row to get the pattern, print it, and make my Bust Ham. I have been in desperate need of one and your pattern is perfect. I did take a shortcut - double-layered each piece and once sewn together I did not iron the seam flat but opened the seam allowances and understitched them. It is so much flatter than any of my ironing would have been. Also used fabric scraps of various sizes to stuff it with through a hole that was 1/8 of the circle, then hand sewed it shut. A helpful step would be to baste the top and the bottom of the ham on the stitching line so that when you come to hand sew it you would have a guideline to follow.
I'm glad you liked it and found it useful.
I completed a toddler dress that was cut out by my mother - in- law for one of her daughters. Her daughters are now 61, 59 and 57 years old.
That certainly is a long term project!
Love the ham idea. I just recently finished a bra I started 4 years ago, maybe 5? Not sure, but after the GBSBee I dug it out. It's not perfect, but you guys inspired me to try again.
The first step is to finish. Hopefully you got a lot out of the Bee so you know what to do differently next time. And hopefully you won't wait another 4 years to finish one.
It is inspiring to watch and learn about why my RTW bras NEVER fit, and to know that we too can make a bra that fits so perfectly. Some of these ladies have the greatest idea using fabric and colors that I as as 65 year old would never have dreamed about using...until now.
I recently finished a shawl that I started years ago, possibly millennia.
I finally finished a quilt that my aunts mom started 20 years ago. She gave it to me 3 years ago🤦🏽♀️!
Its done and you can say that.
Brilliant idea and thank you for sharing. X Your little helper is adorable and great cutting out 😊
Thank you
Super timely. I was just Googling how to make a ham with the intent of using it for bra making, and I actually asked my husband yesterday if he thought filling it with beans and rice instead of sawdust would be ok. Thanks for this.
No problem.
Dish towels that only needed hemming are my most recently finished longest standing make ;)
Thank you for sharing
I recently finished some shorts for myself I started a couple of years ago. I'm just glad they still fit!
I'm sure thats a great feeling.
You won my drawing or the ham I made. Send me an email at jennifer@porcelynne.com
Wow, thank you so much! Sending email now!
Last week I was on a camping vacation and brought a pair of knit socks with me that I started a while ago but never but never finished them. It is such a great feeling to have them finally done!
Thank you for sharing
I finally completed a summer dress I started a few years ago.
Do you get to wear it this summer?
I agree with Emily that beans are cool :)
I have already won a contest of your so this is not an entry but i liked your question.
The thing that i recently finished was cleaning up the patio that was filled with my husband's bicycle hobby. Been asking for it to be done for 7 long years and finally just started doing it myself which caused him to join in. Its nice to be able to eat outside again.
I've had to do a few things like that, that needed a little encouragement. That's how I got the trees trimmed, I started doing them myself then he felt bad and joined in.
Just found your channel for a bra group.
Thank you for building up this channel. Looking forward to go through your channel. Kim From South Africa
Enjoy my videos. There are also several Facebook groups that I am involved in for the bra making community.
I'd like to say it was a well-fitting bra, but I'm not there yet. I made the first of many attempts way back in 1997. 😳 I keep returning to bra making out of frustration with RTW and am determined that, this time, I will darned well stick to it until I have what I want. The only other project(s) that have been banished to the time-out corner is a series of weaving projects for which I hand-dyed the warps several years ago. I pull them out, life gets insane, and they go away again. I'll weave them up at some point. I'm thrilled to see that you've got a pattern for this ham! I NEED one!
Me too
I would love to get into weaving, but I recently bought all the stuff to get into tambour beading and embroidery. I bought it all at the beginning of the pandemic, but its still sitting in the box it was shipped in. I hope to pull it out one of these days to try my hand at it.
@@Porcelynne I fell into it by accident when taking a break from sewing. I spin yarn too. At some point, I will weave fabric with handspun and sew it into unique garments (I used to work in the fashion industry as a patternmaker). I'm the ultimate control freak!
I seen your ham on one of your pictures. I thought, i want one! Thanks for the pattern! I‘m in cutting out mode so i can start assembly sewing as soon as my sewing day is here :-)
Perfect timing!
Afghan. It’s 9 years in the making. I started it months before I got pregnant with my almost 8 yr old!🥺
I get that. Those kids of ours do suck all of our time out from us. I started a book when my daughter was born, but it took 6 years to finish.
I recently finished a camisole and tap pant set that I started before my husband died, almost 30 years ago, he picked out the silk fabric and lace for them.
I'm sure it brought back a lot of memories finishing that set.
@@Porcelynne Yes it did. Some sad, but mostly sweet and really good memories.
Thank you my dear
Welcome 😊
A baby quilt. The child is now seven.
Sounds like the progress of some of my projects.
The fabric your having an issue ironing is polyester but it’s for heat resistance but its suppose to have another fabric over it or else it can melt. I don’t think your suppose to iron it directly on top. It stunned me when I used it for my ironing board because why is a heat resistant fabric polyester that melts lol.
Who knows why they would make it out of a melting fabric. It defeats the purpose
@@Porcelynne lol yea I know. But it’s suppose to be sandwiched between cotton/wool or other good ironing fabrics.
Excellent demonstration. I have started a lingerie cause and wanted to make my own bra ham. I am planning on making different bra sizes for family members, would I need different sizes of bra hams? It must be lovely having your daughter helping you in your demonstrations and a great skill for your daughter to learn. Thank you.
I know some people make different ones for their specific cup size, but I made this pattern for the rounded shape, so you can drape the pattern pieces over the curves to smoothly iron the seams. My daughter is super helpful. We have started her coming to work with me one day after school so she can "help" me out. She wants to take over my business some day, at least that is what she says now. I'm sure she will end up being a lawyer or a doctor or something completely unrelated.
I don't have many UFO's because I try to finish what I start. My fabric, yarn, etc stashes are quite small. I have a bra kit that I haven't started yet though. 🤓
you are very disciplined. Congrats
I wish I had your discipline! I always finish a project, but usually not when I expect to.
I would like to know what you used to stuff the original bra ham.
The original was a solid block of wood that my husband cut for me.
Porcelynne Thanks!
Bonjour, merci! : )
Hello to you too
I don't need to win I just need a kit or two for my studio.. :-)
I can send you a few if you want to just pay for shipping. Send me an email. I have had this fabric for YEARS.
Porcelynne ok I will email you
What is the diameter of the circle ?
I don't have info handy. I made this pattern a while ago. You can download it on my website for free and there should be a 1" & 1 cm square on it for size.
@@Porcelynne I just went on your website and the pattern says it’s $0.50 not for free. Am I doing something wrong?
@@shortyylu click the drop down for the pattern. The 50 cents option is for the fabric I am offering for it.
@@Porcelynne ohhh ok lol thank you :)
