Upgrade your top drawer with some pretty handmade style! Sewing with Solana has a beginner-friendly DIY tutorial and free pattern for comfy high-waisted underwear. Whip them up in soft pointelle jersey with that darling lettuce hem – cute, breathable, and totally stylish!
The free printable template comes in a versatile S/M size that is easy to tweak at the side seams and rise for a customized personal fit. Sewing underwear can seem tricky, but this straightforward walk-through keeps the steps simple: you gently stretch the elastic along the edges, use a zigzag or overlock stitch to ruffle the borders into a flirty lettuce edge, and sew the seams together. It is an ideal weekend scrap-buster that uses very little knit yardage and finishes in less than an hour. Grab some stretchy cotton pointelle offcuts, pick up your 7 mm elastic, and stitch these adorable DIY high-waisted lettuce edge panties for a custom addition to your handmade wardrobe!
