Pants! Or What Would Superman Do?
I’m taking part in Sonia’s knicker swap, but the deadline is Friday for receiving them, so this weekend I really needed to get a move on.
I bought this pattern and set to work. I found attaching the gusset to the front a bit confusing, so I may have done that bit wrong. Also I followed the instructions for picot elastic used in the pattern rather than the fold-over I had bought, which meant unpicking an entire leg that I’d used the smallest zigzag stitch ever on. Not fun, but I did it whilst watching the Winter Olympics which I have done ALL. WEEKEND. I’ve prepped a lot of applique. The elastic wasn’t actually hard to sew though, and I just used a normal needle throughout.
So now this is what they look like, Superman style!
And yeah, I fit in these jeans again after losing 4lbs in 4 weeks on the 5:2 diet (not as much as I was hoping for because I still can’t fit in my other jeans but at least I’m actually losing now!).
Before the weekend is up, I want to sew at least a block, plus I have more thread so I can get on with the Moose quilt again, but the TV is just SUCH a distraction!

Good god woman, can all of the ladies in this knicker swap give out a warning before using the word gusset!

I was mesmerised by the winter Olympics this weekend…SLOPE STYLE FTW!!!! Plus those crazy tea tray riders, the skill of ice hockey players (before they even get to hockey playing, their skating skills are amazing) plus the crazy jumpers with their wibbly skies, not to mention the various sartorial choices and patchwork quilt like starting posts! Couldn’t think of anything better!

Very cute panties…would you say it’s worth it and cheaper than buying outright? I can see making a dozen once you get the process down! BTW, congrats on the weight loss!

love your pants lady! I’m glad you kept it English and didn’t call them panties as that makes me cringe. As does the word gusset. Unfortunately, it’s a word I have to use a lot at work…
