More of Jalie 2564... I was so excited about using small pieces of left-over fabric and making some useful (and pretty) knickers, that I went through my scrap box and found suitable pieces to make more..
First up red and racy...
This fabric is left-over from my Jalie criss-cross top. It is a poly/rayon/spandex blend and one of the nicest, softest hard wearing fabrics I have used. I used a stretch lace for the waist elastic and regular pantie lace elastic for the leg holes.
The other pair from the scrap basket are my black sensibles...
This time a block cotton interlock with foe (fold over elastic) at the openings.
As it is highly unlikely that I will model these undies for a photo, I should just let you know that when worn, they don't sit quite so high legged as they look when laid out flat on the table. They look more like the ones modeled by the sweet girl on the cover of the Jalie pattern.
Today I have cut and made a top from another piece of silk jersey (don't you love holidays!). I am not feeling the love for it but hope after hanging in the wardrobe over night, I may love it more when I get some photos tomorrow.
However to continue in the theme of waste not, want not, I used the left-over piece to make knickers, uh not this time... a bit too much fabric for them, so I thought I would make a cowl...
Next post I hope to show you my new tangerine silk jersey top... ciao!
Love the colour of the cowl - silk jersey top will be lovely in this fabric...J
ReplyDeleteBoy, are you on a roll or what? Love the knickers and such good value to make your own. That tangerine is one of my favourite colours so am most interested in the finished top.
ReplyDeleteOh your tangerine silk jersey cowl looks divine and can't wait to see the top. I don't think any small scrap will pass by you without first checking for suitable knicker candidates.
ReplyDeleteI get a kick out of doing this too and haven't bought undies now for several years. I find them so much more comfortable than bought pairs and its a great way to use scraps, especially the silk jersey pair you made recently, so win win. Yours are lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThe undies looks good but that fabric looks amazing.. can't wait to see your top.
ReplyDeleteVery nice - the rate you are sewing these you should be opening a lingerie shop. Looking forward to seeing the tangerine silk jersey top
ReplyDeleteSo cute Sue - great job too.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, and look beautifully made :)
ReplyDeleteIt's gotten to the point that I will only wear the panties I've made. It's the only way to get a perfect fit!
ReplyDeleteLovely undies! I have plans of making more, like others have said they are more comfortable that shop brought ones. Where do you buy your FOE ? I have asked at two of the textile stores here but all they have is the elastic for fitted sheets- not quit the look I'm going for in my smalls!
