Need Advice - bra-making & lingerie supplies in Stash Hub?

Hello, everyone! I’m looking for some advice from anyone who is currently using Stash Hub to manage their supplies for custom bra-making and lingerie sewing.

I’ve got all my apparel fabric loaded into my account, basically anything on my shelf that’s over 1 yard in length, but now I’m looking at my stash of stretch elastic and microduoplex and microlycra air and the coordinating packages of elastic and findings, and I’m feeling stumped.

Is there a way to use Stash Hub to log these as kits? Or will I have to break them apart into their individual components?

I’ve got some of it in kits, and some of it in yardage of lace and bra tulle and … well, I guess I’m feeling overwhelmed with how to tackle this. It’s not as straight-forward as my apparel fabric collection was.

Any help, advice, examples, recommendations, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

Instead of using the fabric module, what about creating a Notions category called Lingerie Kits and load them that way? That way you can add your preferred details and not be limited by yard length and the other data tags that make sense for yardage.

As @Crushnell suggested - I would create a ‘Bra Kits’ notion type and record your supplies in the notions section. You can see how to add a new notion type in this tutorial: Adding notions - Stash Hub

If I have a full bra kit - fabrics and findings, I put it in fabric as Bra Kit. I can then see it together with embroidered tulle yardage (another of my fabric types).

Findings kits - no cup fabric I put in Notions as Notion type Bra Finding Kit.

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ve set this up and started playing with it, and it seems this might be my solution. Thank you!

Oh, what a perfect way to manage my finding kits that are separate from full bra kits - thank you for the screen shot, it helped a lot!
