That's because I made some knickers! I wanted to sew something a bit different and when I came across Ohhh Lulu the other week I knew what it was. Sarah not only sells her creations through her Etsy store, she also sells patterns on Etsy and Craftsy! I purchased her Grace Knickers pattern and found them fantastic for someone who has never sewn lingerie before. To start with there were only 4 pattern pieces and 5 pieces of fabric to cut and I was able to whip up my first pair in no time at all (I didn't time it but I'd say somewhere between 1-2.5hrs from pulling fabric to wearable).
The Grace Knickers have a bias cut woven front and back and stretch sides. In this pair I used a dot poplin from Spotlight and some stretch lace. They finish with a double needle around the legs and elastic on the waist. I've cut out about another 5 pairs or so and just need to finish them off before I have enough handmade undies to last the week.
Have you ever made any lingerie before?
