I've seen a pattern making the rounds but I don't know how I feel comparing something knitted on a machine, making less waste but possibly exploiting third world labour, or cutting and making your own at home, which leaves scraps. Time to get out the knitting needles?<br /><br />Your knickers look fickin' awesome, by the way. :-)Hazel_Myopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037557900927612544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-27394622223512820572015-10-15T09:32:26.753+01:002015-10-15T09:32:26.753+01:00Thank you for reminding me that I need to make mor...Thank you for reminding me that I need to make more underwear!

Need to download your pattern again and get round to modifying it to fit me <br />And find some decent elastic too...<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09938881254614543838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-30915600505907947552015-10-07T14:40:41.462+01:002015-10-07T14:40:41.462+01:00Ooh!

One step closer to pant self-sufficiency (and wearing matching outer and underwear, like a boss). Just downloaded this and the camisole pattern, and sent you a couple of coffees (or one mega coffee, with cream and sprinkles). Thank you!

And I love that it's a great use of scraps too, if I make a knit top or something there's almost always enough left to make a pair of undies, which helps keep my drawer stocked up.Tashahttp://tashamillergriffith.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-68846324691078313312015-10-01T21:46:59.423+01:002015-10-01T21:46:59.423+01:00Pants self sufficiency is a great goal!

Need to make a new batch and get rid of the first few I made - took me a few goes to get the hang of attaching the elastic. I keep good sized scraps of jersey when making dresses & tshirts. As far as I can remember I'm fairly sure I bought you a coffee and am surprised at how many didn't.
