Reduce foam thickness
Before any other step further, here’s what I like to do – but this is totally optional or you can do it later after you’ve attached all cup layers. I do this to reduce the thickness of the foam.
Join all cup layers
Arrange pieces. The right side is facing you – both the foam and lace. Careful to match the left lace cup under the left foam and the right lace cup under the right foam.
Hold all the layers together, pick one cup up and turn it. Now the lace covers the inside of the cup. The dashed line shows where you should stitch.
Prepare the cups for the next steps
If you haven’t serged around the cup, you may do it now – but only on the sides that are not finished. At this stage, the cup is almost ready!
