The from is one of my favorite patterns to make, but getting the point right at the center front can be a challenge...
The pattern instructions advice you to put the cups between the fashion fabric and the lining. Especially with bigger cups it can give some frustrations to get it right.
What I do is sewing the cups in like I'm planning to use underwire channeling. You can use underwire channeling to finish the raw seam, but it can be bulky at the centre front and it makes the whole bra a little more stiff.
Instead of underwire channeling, I use stabilizing tape, cut on the bias, made from sheer cuplining. In my previouse video I explain how you can make the stabilizing tape yourself.
I hope you find this alternative way helpfull and give the Sahaara bra an other trye if this part of assembling was where you gave up before.
