I cannot say just how excited I am to be kicking off Everyone deserves pretty knickers week. It’s going to be so exciting!
Honestly sewing your own knickers leaves you with this amazing feeling of accomplishment and triumph and I want everyone to be able to experience that.
Over the week we will be covering 2 sewalongs, inspiration and design.
The first sewalong will be for The Charlotte Knickers but the same construction method applies to The Georgiana Knickers and The Lydia Knickers so you can choose the style that suits you best.
The second sewalong will be for The Jane Knickers. These are a super sweet knicker than can be worn as pyjamas or for lounging about in hot weather.
Sunday – Inspiration
Monday – Sew along 1 – Bias cutting and gusset construction
Tuesday – Sew along 1 – side seams and attaching elastic
Wednesday – Sew along 1 – top stitch elastic
Thursday – Sew along 2 – cutting and crotch construction
Friday – Sew along 2 – yoke, hem and elastic
Saturday – Design
Some other fun things will also be happening during the week so keep checking back in. If you use bloglovin you can follow us using the button in the sidebar.

Susan Goodwin
yes another time when you have a moment to sit and make them and enjoy the process, much better than rushing it in a busy week.

I had fun making my pair of knickers today…once I master that elastic they’re going to be a great, easy project (and good for scrap busting too)!

Had great fun today, elastic is just getting used to pulling the elastic toward you while feeding it into the machine away from you. You will have it sorted in no time and then lots of pretty knickers!
