Also, thanks for accounting for stretch factor rather than just lopping off some standard measurement to account for "negative ease". I love the attention to detail.
😂😅 I am in my kitchen in the hood making dinner and my kids 15 n 16 are popping in and out doing their chores and ear hussling , you said make the perfect nickers and their eye got so big and their faces. 😂😊😂😅😂😅 I explained it’s underwear and it’s the funniest thing in the world now. Great video ❤😊
This is amazing. My last child was born via c-section, and it’s becoming harder and harder to find underwear that comes up high enough to not slide down into that scar but also doesn’t show over the top of my pants.
Did i just watch all the videos and ALL the shorts? And now want to recreate it immediately? Yes and yes. Please make bralettes. They're equally uncomfortable.
You rock. I live in a place where it is hard to find quality underwear in my size and I am learning to sew. This video is not just for underwear but also gives great tips for working to make my own bathing suit bottoms. Thank you sew much! hehe.
Finally! Thank you So much. I am a Carpenter. And for years Me and my female colleagues are wearing men boxer Briefs. We have proper trousers for the trade, but to work and sweat in peace summers as winters there is No way I wear those idiotic underwear for women that seems to be Standart. I am a grown woman and no barbie. So.. I startet to make my own underwear... So this tutorial is Gold🤩👍👍👍
After watching this I drafted a pattern using measurements from a pair of RTW panties that fit me perfectly. I have now made 6 pairs from that pattern. Thank you!
I am absolutely STUNNED at how much I am learning watching this video. You are a phenomenal teacher. This is one of the first times that I am actually excited about making a garment. Usually I think the clothes I make are going to work out and then I am so disappointed. Knickers seems the perfect first place to learn about pattern drafting, plus I will get some underwear that fit well and are actually good for my lady bits! Thanks for taking so much time to explain why tests are so important and that it is decidedly NOT a waste of time or fabric. I can't wait to get started!
It would be wonderful to have a bust support video using natural fabrics like cotton and linen with minimal elastic. Another project I've spent countless hours on without success in the fit! Crossing my fingers :)
Every time I sew a project never works out, I usually end up in tears at some time and spend hours and hours on youtubes, trials and nothing to show for it. I wish I could afford your course but it's not possible...so I am soooo grateful for this and the following videos! You've shared so much with us and if somehow I can actually make knickers that fit...I will be in tears but they will be happy tears. Thank you! So glad I found you!
I just made my first tests and I'm feeling like I have superpowers! Can't wait to move to the next step. This course is so well designed, it's wonderful.
Omg thank you, this clarifies the perspective on front and back. I took a pattern making class right now and the person teaching is very not helpful in explaining twice when the first time isn't clear.
This class is amazing!!! I have some pattern books that has underwear, but you explain so easily. I'll make bikinis for me this summer. Best regards, from Brazil.
I've tried to make knickers before. The first pair fit almost perfect and I used that pattern with different fabric, which had a different stretch factor, so the new pair didn't fit! I will make a pattern from scratch from now with your help and keep in mind the stretch factor. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
That mysterious stretch factor! And you explained it so casually that I'm now wondering what all the fuss is about. Athough perhaps when I actually try to use it... I'm constantly frustrated by both what we call underwear and what we call lingerie, bc niether of those options is ever comfortable. I see a brighter future where I'm not arguing with my gusset and I can design the underwear that will make my clothes happier! Thank you!
That's what I was waiting for for years without knowing it. You made so happy! I sent it two of my friends already. We have been complaining about rtw knickers for ages. This is going to change.
About metric versus inches.. I don't do the math anymore.. It's just too much effort. I live in Europe, we use cm. But The most tutorials on yt come from the states, or let's say the America's. And it's way easier just to buy yourself a measure tape wit both. Metric on one side, inch on the other side. Done😎✅
I hear that sewing fittings are the perfect project for those obsessed with trying trying trying trying because the high fashion elite does at least 7 fittings before getting to what they really wanted. HERE'S YOUR SIGN! ❤❤❤
Bless yall generous hearts for showing us how to sew our own panties. As a larger women finding comfortable 100% cotton undies that is wide enough to cover gusset wise is hard
I’ve made pants before and also have a basic understanding of pattern drafting. I found your presentation excellent, good pace, uncomplicated, practical. Thankyou!
This is great! My underwear is falling apart, and I have not found any in the fabrics that I want that will fit my body. I have always been daunted by knits, and love how you explain the stretch factor. Thanks for putting this out there.
I am so glad, I'm not the only one, who can't find comfortable underwear. I tryed so many different brands and styles in the last years and it's getting expensive (I live in Switzerland)
I love everything about this video you and everything seems so professional i feel i'am in an academy or big school when following your teaching Thank you so much for putting this online for everyone ❤

This was so so so helpful and I don't even want to make my own underwear! Just want to learn pattern making and sewing and it was so helpful to hear how you do things step by step and how you measure stretch factor, etc. THANK YOU!
So glad to find this channel. Been cutting store bought underwear to fit me through trial and error and it works but it's good to find a video that will help me make it from scratch and cut down the trial and error
This was so helpful and so easy to understand! I'm a beginner and this has made me so excited to eventually start making underwear that fits my body. Looking forward to the next video! Sending thanks from Australia
This is amazing! THANK YOU! I struggle so much with seams not feeling good against my skin. I can already see how I can make a pair of panties with only a seem up my center back so avoid those pesky side seams that I hate. Eager to continue to watch this series! Also eager to eventually make my own period panties!
my husband is very sensitive about seams - so I sew backwards ! Meaning I make all the seams on the OUTSIDE ! no need to turn anything inside out - to make it look on purpose - I usually use a contrasting but matching color of thread ....
@@TwistedRootsVanVelzerPress I ususally turn my store bought underwear inside out :) But sometimes that is hard if you're wearing something tight. I'll be nice to be able to make seams that are nice both on the inside and out. I like the idea of contrasting thread - thank you :D
I've had such a hard time buying the right underwear for "me" and was resigned to having to make my own so this video series is exactly what I need. Thank you!!!
I'm also going to use the lesson here to draft a pattern off my favorite purchased underwear...now that I understand how the math works with fabric stretch. I have lots of old t-shirts to practice with. 😊
Oh my god this is exactly what I needed. 😭 I’m wbc for sure. I break out in anything other than silk, linen or true cotton. I’m sick of the welts from polyester blends so I’ll have to to find a somewhat stretchy middle ground. Thanks again. 🙏🌞🧚♀️
This is wonderful. I’ve been thinking that nothing I own actually fits. They are all almost ok. I usually go with a good fabric content and a somewhat ok fit. Having nice fabric and fit is a novel idea.
When I was a kid, my mom made us bikini bottoms from woven acrylic fabric cut on the bias. She made the pattern if I remember correctly. That was in the early 1970s. Random sewing history
I absolutely love how you explain everything.👏👏👏 And while I totally understand and respect why you charge the amount you charge for your classes, I wish you also have paid member subscription courses so I could afford them as well.:D University of fashion offers something similar with what you do, but by far, you are much clearer. Thank you for all the knowledge you share and all the best with your business.
Thank you so much, I shall be purchasing your course ❤ I have been studying textiles, stitching and patterns for the past couple of years and this is really invaluable info 🙏🏼 keep up the good work!
I actually switched from cotton knickers to nylon.... specifically because the cotton knickers were always damp from my body heat.... it caused all kinds of issues. Nylon drys and stays in place... doesn't droop... and there are all kinds of styles. I make my own now... easy, but difficult to find good quality fabrics which are also pretty.
You might consider looking into merino wool as a natural fiber alternative to nylon. Merino is very moisture wicking, and even when I’m exercising I feel dry all day rather than clammy and wet like I usually would with cotton. The issue with clothing made from synthetic fibers like nylon is the potential for it to react with the body in a negative way over the long term. These petrochemicals have been shown to have negative effects on hormonal balance and more. I wouldn’t advise wearing it so close to a delicate area.
@@EvelynSaungikarif you are sensitive bamboo is perhaps stressing your Skin. If the raw material is bamboo than there is a chemical way needed to proceed a fibre from bamboo. So its not a natural fabric.
Hi there. Excellent instructions. I'm tired of looking for a Body Suit-Leotard that I can wear with a Skirt. I have a long torso, compared to what I have found. I know how to draft a bodice for woven material, but haven't tried to use Knits because I wasn't comfortable with the S.F. This is a great lesson to start from the bottom up! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! I sometimes struggle with finding underwear that fits. As my body has changed shape, what used to fit well now digs in around the legs to the point of actually leaving marks. I haven't worn that style in a long time. I notice that this girth around the leg isn't included, I presume because you can alter the height of the cut at the hips. I've been finding and saving patterns for swimwear and sports tops so I can design my own sport sets. Would you say that stretch factor is important for the gusset when designing gear for people doing flexibility moves? Lip slips aren't wanted!
thanks for this! yes, when you design the pattern you decide how high/low you want the leg to sit. You just regulate it. To avoid lip slip, don't add stretch factor to the crotch, as it doesn't stretch, it just sits. Just make sure the elastic is tight enough instead.
Made my first tester 😅😂 made me laugh I guess it is a win if the first one kinda fits lol not pretty but how do we get better. Try and try again. Thanks for this awesome video!!!! I really wanted to start with underware and then move to bathing suits as I see they are getting smaller and smaller and personally I like to cover my butt up 😂😂😂
Thank you. Long legged panties are very expensive in contrast to ‘regular ‘panties. When you sit at a computer for hours on end, that elastic around the top of your thigh makes your body ache. I’m going to make some long legged panties. Not fair that these are all the rage for men’s boxers but as usual, women are discriminated against.
Is it possible for us to tey to subtitle this video for our mother language? I really like this channel, and i know you guys want to spread this teaching
So I tried this today. Bought 100,,% cotton jersey. Stretch test, 10 turned into 12. The pattern sits very loose. And the fabric does not recovery from being stretched, it just stay bigger so the undies are even more loose. Did I pick a bad quality fabric or is this normal for 100% cotton. I enjoyed the process so thanks for the video very very much😊
you could try increasing the stretch factor and double check your measurements. Also, the fit adjusts once you add the elastic. Also, you may want to add a dart for a tighter fit 🙂
With 100% cotton the snugness mostly comes from the elastics. Those will also vary greatly. I tend to make a test pair with what I've bought, to see how tight everything needs to be - the feel for the hand and elasticity comes to you after a while. The same pattern from different fabric can be dramatically a different size, so it's always mock-up time with a new fabric or elastic.
I've not long been doing clothes only a few months and I find it hard to find shop bought knickers uncomfortable and I've got some jersy fabric that's so soft and I've made a couple pairs with it but I wud like to work out underwear shorts too
I just drafted out a pattern... 😲 ... oh my ! .... my ass is so huge 😅. Select stretchy fabric - Engage negative ease. Yes.... that pattern ilooks so much better 😊
Hi, I just found your channel and love the topic! I have a question: I’m using 100% organic cotton and measuring it in inches. When I use a 5" piece, it stretches to :7" -2" (40% stretch?), but a 10" piece only goes to 3", and it’s comfy at 12.5" = 2.5" (is that 25% stretch?). I’m not sure which percentage is correct. I have a 5. difference.
Hi there, if you have 5” stretching to 7” then divide 5/7 which gives you 0.71, let’s call it 0.7 SF. If 10” goes to 12.5” then 10/12.5 = 0.8 SF Multiple your horizontal size by the SF 5”x 0.7 = 3.5” 10” x 0.8 = 8” See if that works for you.
Also, thanks for accounting for stretch factor rather than just lopping off some standard measurement to account for "negative ease". I love the attention to detail.

I actually switched from cotton knickers to nylon.... specifically because the cotton knickers were always damp from my body heat.... it caused all kinds of issues. Nylon drys and stays in place... doesn't droop... and there are all kinds of styles. I make my own now... easy, but difficult to find good quality fabrics which are also pretty.
You might consider looking into merino wool as a natural fiber alternative to nylon. Merino is very moisture wicking, and even when I’m exercising I feel dry all day rather than clammy and wet like I usually would with cotton.

Hi, I just found your channel and love the topic! I have a question: I’m using 100% organic cotton and measuring it in inches. When I use a 5" piece, it stretches to :7" -2" (40% stretch?), but a 10" piece only goes to 3", and it’s comfy at 12.5" = 2.5" (is that 25% stretch?). I’m not sure which percentage is correct.

Hi there, if you have 5” stretching to 7” then divide 5/7 which gives you 0.71, let’s call it 0.7 SF.
If 10” goes to 12.5” then 10/12.5 = 0.8 SF
Multiple your horizontal size by the SF
5”x 0.7 = 3.5”
10” x 0.8 = 8”
See if that works for you.
@@arkdefo Thank you!. I''ll give it a try.
