D.I.Y. cannibalize a working model.
ya will need to sacrifice two pairs of drawers. :frown:
press all the pieces, trace each piece out on a light/cheap fabric. cut out, sew up. ya will have to make a few pair before you work out a perfect pattern. if ya serious, is worth the work.
It's not impossible but it's easier. I have a Singer SES1000 (SES stand for Sew/Embroider/Serge) There is an SES2000 on the market but have no real ambition to upgrade. I rarely have time to use my machine these days.
Wow!
Wow!
I also found BrianSews!, the blog of a man who makes his own swimsuits of similar design, and many other projects as well.
Apparently this isn't as crazy a project as it seems!
Thank you for finding that for me! :smile:
Perhaps we can exchange patterns...drafting the pattern seems to be the hardest part for me.Definitely gonna try a bathing suit myself. Might as well...since I got a sewing machine![]()

In fact, maybe we could make a sticky post, and each of us contribute our own improvements to a community database...
For such a (deceptively?) simple garment, underpants that deviate from FotL briefs are surprisingly expensive.
Perfectly reasonable...but wouldn't it be nice, if we could find a middle ground? Something perhaps not ultra high end quality, but at least of decent quality, but which doesn't cost $25 a pair?I think your basic Fruit of the Loom or Hanes are TOO expensive. When it comes to buying underwear, you can basically either invest in something good but ungodly high-priced, or overpay for cheap crap.
