I have traced a current pair of mime and tried to make it with scrap knits but haven't been successful yet. I think the stretch of the knits were different so I will have to dig through my stash to find another kind of knit. Most of all, I would like to make a pair like the ones you have made for Mr. So, but for myself!Lovenickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043206559384867635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-42336552943351037842013-04-27T14:21:17.268+01:002013-04-27T14:21:17.268+01:00Love the Berlin undies AND the idea of using jerse...Love the Berlin undies AND the idea of using jersey bands instead of elastic. Some of my fave RTW pairs have no real elastic around the legs, or very soft elastic. Sadly, I don't think I'll have me-made underpants by Wednesday. /cry. The dude pants are great, too. I had gone as far as cutting up a pair of the hubs' old ones and tracing a pattern yonks ago, but never went anywhere with it. :(Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-67474827897524945512013-04-26T05:38:40.852+01:002013-04-26T05:38:40.852+01:00When I started making undies for my husband I did ...When I started making undies for my husband I did an informal poll of the men in the house (3 sons and a husband) and it turned out that none of the used the "access window"-love that name! It was a very interesting conversation, lets just say. Anyhow I use the Jalie pattern without it, and take an abnormal amount of pleasure in the fact that my husband is wearing skivvies that I made him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-79848162288239272702013-04-26T04:55:58.445+01:002013-04-26T04:55:58.445+01:00Yay for undies making!

It's so easy to get wrapped up and follow what everyone else is doing when it comes to sewing techniques. But taking a look outside the norm - what other people in your circle are doing, can open the eyes to new techniques (such as the way they apply the leg elastic/jersey)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-7655392588601177282013-04-25T12:03:30.467+01:002013-04-25T12:03:30.467+01:00These are great and such fun in all the different ...These are great and such fun in all the different colours!
