The rest of the panties are hot off the sewing machine. Finally! First, Simplicity 8229 is hands-down the best panties pattern that has crossed my sewing table. I can't recommend this pattern enough. And sewing these in cotton knit just adds to the comfort.
I don't know what else to say besides all the zig-zag stitching is a real thread eater. For the six pairs three bobbins were needed. I polished off three small spools of thread.

They look great. As an Acacia undies lover, what is it about this design that you love so much? I would love to know why I might want to try these. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's about how they fit. The shape of the leg opening and the leg elastic is perfect. I did need to adjust the waistline elastic to be a bit more snug but otherwise I like how they sit at the waistline and that they have nice coverage.
