knittingbansheeSo, I finally got back to doing some sewing, and made some underwear. I made a pair of Stitch Upon A Time Scrundlewear, size 3XL boy shorts with encased elastic high waistband and leg bands. They are mighty comfortable, at least for lounging around the house. I’m going to have to wear them for a while and then decide what other versions I want to make. Or whether to make a cami of the same fabric...
I also made my partner a pair of Stitch Upon A Time Men’s Boxers, size XL with an XXL waistband - I meant to make XXL entirely but I cut the wrong size and didn’t notice until I got to the waistband. Luckily I could fudge it! Options: short legs, hemmed, low rise, knitted waistband, with fly. Again, they’ll need testing and other variations may be made - I have some more of that fabric left, as well as a metre of another fabric to also use for this.
I’m also making progress with my first set of petticoats for my 18th century outfit. I have done the cutting (about 88 cm, so it looks like the lenght of the Arabella skirt I want to make is about right, which I thought it wasn’t!), pleating, seams on the sides and tidying up of the slits. I need to finish the waistbands, but I’m knackered and have an early start tomorrow.
