Countdown Calendar Kit: Sew Your Own Underwear

We hope you're enjoying our 2024 Countdown Calendar!

In this post, we’ll give you some pattern suggestions that you can combine with the materials in your underwear kit to sew your own underwear. 

One of our favourite FREE patterns to use is Melly Sews Panties Pattern. It's available in XXS to 3X and is the most size inclusive of all our suggestions. There's also a handy video tutorial you can follow:

You'll need to follow the instructions for using fold-over elastic (FOE) and remember to trim down the seam allowances. Download the pattern for free by signing up for the Melly Sews newsletter. 

A few more patterns

There are quite a few free sewing patterns for underwear out there but many have limited sizing. We've included a few below in case you want to consider other options. Melly Sews also has a tutorial on grading if you want to make any of these patterns smaller or larger. 

Acacia Underwear

The Acacia Underwear by Megan Nielsen is available in sizes 0 to 20. Sign up to their newsletter and get the pattern for free. Remember to follow the instructions for fold-over elastic. There's also a handy video tutorial too:

Scrap Sporty Throng

Prefer a thong style? The Scrap Sporty Throng pattern by Lore Piar is a free pattern and it doesn't require any elastic. Available in XXS to XXL, you can download it here. The designer also includes a link to a video tutorial.

Looking for high-waisted? Try the Maxine Panties pattern by Evie La Luve. This pattern runs from XXS to XXL.
