I refuse to buy any more knickers now that I have Simplicity 8229 in my pattern collection.
Seriously, with this pattern and some cotton knit fabric I just want to replace all the ill-fitting RTW undies in my drawer.
These beige / taupe coloured pairs are made with left over cotton knit from this top. I recently found this cotton knit fabric at Fabricland. The picot elastic is from Marshall/Northwest Fabrics but I haven't seen any more of each of these on my last trips to the stores. Thankfully, I have a few leads on some online shops that sell picot elastic.
The Stats:
Fabric: 1 metre
Elastic: 4.8 metres
Pattern: Simplicity 8229
Additional Tools & Supplies: Sewing machine, serger, walking foot, scissors, thread clippers, pins, cutting table, iron, ironing board, thread for the serger and sewing machine, box of kleenex (I can't be catching a cold!), cup of tea with lemon and honey, and a couple of breaks.
Happy Sewing!

5.6M of elastic??? That seems excessive lol :)
ReplyDeleteOops, that should read 4.8 metres (2.4 metres / 2 5.8 yards of elastic for each pair), I made two pairs. Thanks for spotting that mistake, I'll change it right away.
