    Thanks for this video. I've been thinking about making my own underwear right after I finish this little project that I'm doing. I'm making one of those Japanese cross back aprons today. I bought some underwear that are just terrible. What's popular here is they just fold over the top with no elastic which are fine when you first put them on but after wearing them a few hours they begin to stretch out and get loose and I'm afraid they are going to fall off when I'm at the store for example. So making my own is a better choice for me.

    • @manhurter
      @manhurter 6 місяців тому

      You should make your own underwear you won't regret it. I did about 2 years ago and I prefer the ones I made more than store bought. I have all control over the fabric and the fit. I have health problems which makes wearing anything above my navel very uncomfortable. So I make low rise full coverage underwear out of 100% cotton jersey as I prefer it over cotton blends or viscose jersey. I find viscose jersey isn't absorbent and I live in a hot climate and work as a chef.

    • @oskarmolly
      @oskarmolly 6 місяців тому

      @@manhurter Thanks, I have everything I need to make myself several pairs. I also prefer cotton knit because I live in a very cold climate, those little viscose or satin thing the wind and cold goes right through and makes you even more cold.

    Lovely video as always. I love using fold over elastic for leg seams and wider lace elastic for waistband. I usually do a gusset with a burittoiton method, so it's closed on both sides. Need to try leaving it open at back Thanks for great tutorial

    I love all of these tips! I think sewing with a store-bought pattern and the recommended piece of fabric is fun but not necessarily creative. To create something it must be an idea from your brain and it has to be unique. I love playing with what I have and to be limited makes it even more interesting.
