FREE Underwear tutorials and patterns (30)

If you decide to sew your own underwear, two things will happen for sure –

1. You will never be short of fresh underwear and

2. You will always have the cloth to sew them with – You can use all those t-shirts destined for the junkyard in your sewing.

These things aside, the patterns and tutorials listed below make sewing them so easy that you will never have to shop for ready-made underwear again.

Suppose you feel slightly more adventurous, skip the knit fabrics or old t-shirts and sew them in satin. If you are more advanced in sewing, use spandex fabric.

Some points to remember when sewing with knit fabric are

Wash the fabric before sewing if it is new, as knit may shrink after the first wash.
Use a ballpoint needle only.
Do not stretch as you sew (you may have a tendency to do that because of the nature of the cloth), as this will make your garment skewed.
Use a very small seam allowance (1/4 inch and lesser) as more will cause bulking up.
Use a narrow and short zigzag when sewing the seams for it to be strong.

Do check out this detailed article on how to sew with knit on your regular sewing machine. You can also check out the post on the knitted fabrics for you to make all these.
