Well fast forward many years, I'm on this stash busting journey and I vowed to curve my RTW appetite. Oh wait, I actually said I would stop buying RTW. Including undergarments. I figure it is about time that I try my hand at sewing undergarments. I have everything I need in my sewing stash. I have no excuses.
Since I also vowed not to purchase any new patterns this year and I'm feeling a wee bit guilty about last week's fail, I'll have to pass on the oh-so-retro Betty High Waist Panties by Ohhh Lulu... ~sigh, what was I thinking? It is such a pretty pattern.
Luckily, there are several free patterns on line. It is a starting point. I also have a well fitting comfortable pair of undies that I can also use as a guide.
Yes, this is my project for Sew Grateful Project Day!
Seriously, I am sew grateful for all the information and free pattern you have posted.
Stash Busting 2013: Project #8
Fabric Used: 0.26 metres of cotton knit. This fabric has been in my stash for years.
Elastic Used: 1.7 metres of underwear elastic. Yes, I found this in my stash. Funny thing is that I don't remember when I bought these elastics. Perhaps, when I picked up that Kwik Sew pattern.
I have a new pair of undies and I couldn't be more thrilled. I have to tell you that it was easier to sew than I thought it would be. Cutting out the pattern and the fabric were a piece of cake.
Then I questioned what I was up to when I pinned the crotch gussets in place. It looked crazy.
Happy Sewing!
Well done on your underwear! Thanks for the link to the pattern - looks like a great way to use up knit fabric scraps.
