Unmentionables

Well, because I’m an Australian they’re not unmentionable at all.  No beating around the bush here – they’re undies.  Or knickers.  But ewww, not panties.

undies

Many years ago I did a Knit-wit stretch sewing course that included making your own undies.  Sadly I let those skills languish over the subsequent decades.  A year or so ago I bought a knicker kit here and some fold over elastic here with the aim of making some undies that met my specifications.  Yesterday I finally sewed up a pair from some left-over stretch fabric (you don’t need much fabric to make a pair of undies, even big undies like mine) and woohoo, they fit beautifully!

No, I won’t be modelling them for you, but I’ve worn them today and there is no VPL, they come up over my pot belly at the front rather than cutting it in half and enhancing the muffin top, and importantly no riding up at the back.  I’m sold – it’s home sewn undies for me!  Super quick, super easy, super comfy.  Maybe not super sexy…
