At long last…a new sewing post.

I know, I know!  It’s been forever and a day since I posted something new that I’ve sewn.  Yesterday I attacked my bin of knit scraps and sewed them up into new undies for my girlies.  This is my own pattern, both the girls like the way these fit.  They’re super comfy (so they say) because they have no elastic, only cotton/lycra bands at the waist and legs that keep them in place.  I sewed up this whole stack assembly-line style, and made so many I probably won’t have to sew any more undies until these ones are outgrown.

    so cute. i know quite a few kiddos (and some grown ups, too) who will no longer wear “store bought” undies because mommy made are so much more comfy.

    i use only the softest knits, make sure there are no bumps or scratchy parts, and tailor the fit to each person’s individual preferences. they sew up so quick & easy, plus, it is a great way to use up scraps. 🙂
