DIY BASIC PANTY PATTERN- even big sizes

 DIY BASIC PANTY PATTERN

I´ll try to explain in English, it’s not my own language. I don´t know well the seam words. I hope to do it fine.

We use ruler, colour markers, pencil, scissors, measure tape, paper….

 MEASUREMENT NEEDED: circumference hip. Italian measurements (cms)

We use fabric with spandex (stretch, elastic...fabric).

WE DON’T USE EASE SEWING/SEAM.

NOTE:  

THE LEFT VERTICAL LINE INDICATES THE LINE WHERE WE FOLD THE FABRIC SO WE PUT THIS PATTERN LINE   OVER THE FABRIC FOLD.

This pattern is useful to all sizes, even big sizes.

We start doing the  FRONT PANTY PATTERN.

We draw a rectangle with 2 horizontals, up and down, and 2 verticals, left and right, of course.

We mark the hip circumference  divide 4 less 2cm or instead the 2 cm, we use the discount that the fabric stretch let’s use (I have a video that explains this discount method) in both horizontals.

Ex: hip: 100cm divide 4= 25 – 2 cm = 23cm, we mark this 23 cm in both horizontals.

We mark the hip circumference  divide 4 in both verticals.

HIP LINE

 

We mark up the hip line: we divide the hip line  in half we add 1,5 cm more so we draw a line. (green line).

Ex: hip: 100cm divide 4= 25 + 1,5= 26,5 cm

 We mark up the 26,5cm and draw a line the HIP LINE. (green colour).

  CROTCH PIECE:

We mark 2 or 3 cm in the hip line from the left vertical to the right side (depends the elastic band wide we are going to use).

We mark 2 or 3 cm in the down horizontal line from the left vertical to the right side.

We join both marks with another vertical line (blue colour)

We get a rectangle, we divide in half with a little horizontal line and we get the down rectangle that is the "crotch piece".

In the down horizontal line we add 1 cm more and join up with the little horizontal line (blue colour).

From here we join up with a soft curve(here goes the thigh) to the hip line .

In the center of the upper horizontal line we mark down 1 cm and join to the vertical right line (this is to be more comfortable).

 we get this draw...

NOTE: we copy the crotch piece, we have twice the crotch piece and we use ALWAYS cotton fabric in the inner- piece.

BACK PANTY PATTERN.

We do a rectangle with 2 horizontals, up and down, and 2 verticals, left and right, of course.

We mark the round measure hip divide 4 less 2cm or instead the 2 cm, we use the discount that the fabric stretch let’s use (I have a video that explains this discount method) in both horizontals.

Ex: hip: 100cm divide 4= 25 – 2 cm = 23cm, we mark this 23 cm in both horizontals.

We mark the hip circumference divide 4, in both verticals.

HIP LINE

We mark up the hip line: we divide the hip line  in half, we add 1,5 cm more so  we draw a line. (green line).

Ex: hip: 100cm divide 4= 25 + 1,5= 26,5 cm

 We mark up the 26,5cm and draw a line the HIP LINE. (green colour).

We mark 3 to 4 cm in the lower horizontal line….

We join this mark to the hip line….

We mark up 1 to 6 cm (depends how much “pompis” you have, more “pompis” more cm)
We join this mark to the right in vertical line.

NOTE: “pompis” = buttock ….. 

 NOTE: ANOTHER WAY TO DO THESE PATTERNS IS TO FOLD THE PAPER IN HALF AND DRAW ALL THE  STEPS IN THE SAME PAPER. WHEN WE CUT WE SEPARATE BOTH PATTERNS, FRONT AND BACK PARTS.

AS ALWAYS…WE NEED TO PRACTICE…..
