Hi Jane, I saw your post on the lingerie group, and since the group is more for designing patterns than using purchased patterns I thought maybe I should just ask you my question here on your blog, so here goes--
I’ve been making panties since 1985 when I was ready to potty train my daughter and went to buy some panties. I refused to pay a dollar a pair for those little things, so I bought a KwikSew pattern. When I found out how they turned out, I bought a pattern for myself and that’s all I’ve worn since. I like the pattern, it fits. The hardest part is sewing in the elastic, and then it’s the elastic that wears out, while the tricot is still in good shape. You mentioned sewing a casing and putting elastic through, and being able to change the elastic. It never occurred to me to do that. Would the way to go about this be to just add a half inch or so to the leg opening, and the the waist? Or would that somehow distort things? I like your way of doing the side seams also. I've been using the rolled hem stitch on my serger, but the last batch I made, the seams are popping out. I don't know if I have bad thread or if I somehow used a different setting and the seam just isn't strong enough.
Any insight you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Please email me privately if you'd rather keep this off your blog.
