Upcycling T-shirts! 7 Kiki Underwear (Sinclair Patterns). Ahhh so COMFY. Tummy support & more!

Описание: I’ve just gone down a rabbit hole of making undies / knickers / pants/ briefs... using the NEW Kiki from Sinclair patterns. There are several rise, gusset and leg opening finishing options. Super fun. I used 7 of my son's cotton spandex T-shirts that no longer fit him to give them a new life. Hooray for Upcycling!

I am sharing how to sew the contoured waistband with tummy support, the GUSSET, leg bands, picot elastic and more in the practical segment!

Heads up: I go over options, choices for materials and the reasons for choices in depth :) Also, I am not modelling my undies. If you want to try making them with T-shirts, MAKE SURE ITS COTTON SPANDEX AT LEAST 5% (LYCRA). 100% cotton T shirts won't stretch and won't work.

The Kiki Briefs from Sinclair are 33% through Wednesday, the 3rd of Feb 2021. Normal price is $8.99 (great value). This is my affiliate link if you’d like to have a look: https://sinclairpatterns.com/products...
