Panty tutorial

Until now i have been wearing my pre maternity briefs i just keep them under my belly
But now they are becoming a little bit of a snug fit and i don't think i can use them till end of October

So i decided to make my own panties. i have tried to provide as much pictures as i can.
of u dont understand or need more instructions pls tell me.
this is my first tutorial so be patient with me i know its not perfect. hehe

Maternity panty or larger panty tutorial 

things u need 

One old pair of panties that's fitting u make sure its old and u don't mind getting rid of it as this one is going to act as a template
half yard of Jersey material new or old tshirts work really well too
elastic ribbon about 2 yards
A sewing machine
Scissors
Matching thread both with elastic and material the thread matching material should be used in the bobbin

How to cut

Cut your old panties along the seam lines
U will end up with 3 pieces of fabric

Now remove the elastic at the top and at the leg
 
Cut the front and the back from your fabric remembering to add about one and a half inch or so depending on how big you want it to be to the sides (the fabric should be kept so that the material stretches from side to side)
Now cut two pieces of the crotch pattern
U r now done with cutting


Stitching 

This is the trickiest part

The front of the crotch is smaller then the back just remember this unless u r making a thong in which case it would be the opposite

Lay down one piece of crotch material line the front piece to the front edge fold the hanging piece of the material and pin it in place as shown

repeat with back piece

Place the other crotch piece on top pin it down

Stitch both ends
Zigzag the edges not to prevent it from fraying but to give it more strength

Remove all pins

Pull out the front and back pieces from inside the crotch

Now is the easy part as long as u can do a zigzag stitch u r good to go

place the elastic at the legs and using a zigzag stitch attach it to the legs on both sides

Use a normal straight stitch to sew one side of the panty with right sides together

Attach the elastic on top starting at one open end and finishing at the other but this time stretch the elastic as u go sewing

Now stitch the unstitched side using a straight stitch with right sides togetheras you can see i hav attached the eastic at the top. i dont have a picture of this step.

Turn ur panty inside out and you are done

 you can use different colours of elastic and fabric and go wild with ur panty collection
since i got around a yard of fabric i did a few others

I found this really useful as i could never find the material or size i was looking for
i hope people find this help ful
if u want make regular panties this will work too
Also if u found or know other ways to make maternity undies i would like to knw abt that too
