I guess that the best way of knowign your size would be to place and pin elastic band (not streched) on to underware you really like. Then strechit out and measure it to know the measurements and replicate the patter with alterations. I think I'll do this one.

Oh, I cannot wait to make these. Especially since I'm in desperate need of underwear. X] They looked so cute.

how do you print this out to scale? tried everything!

Would she give me one of that just to have the length? I can't make it with that, that the problem...

When I made these, i got my measurements wrong and they weren't big enough to be ruched, so I sewed ribbons to the sides so they tie at the sides. If anyone else makes this mistake i recommend trying this.

Hi, everyone. I am new to threadbanger, but I couldn't wait to try and make a pair of these kinky bloomers. Like many other people on here, I was worried about the sizing. I made an estimate and, admittedly, my first attempt wasn't quite right. However, I just got my stitch ripper out and added an extra piece of material at either side, and now they fit just fine. I even used the rest of the shirt to make a ruched halter top to go with the knickers! So, I encourage everyone to have a go. With a ruched pattern like this, don't worry too much about the sizing. Just make a start and alter as you go. My sewing machine is an ancient, fixed needle, hand-powered Singer, but she did me proud. If I can do it, anyone can! Thanks for the idea, Clare Bare! Amy x

cute underwear that fits is always a difficulty.

I can't wait to make them!xx

SMALL 26-30 MEDIUM 30-34 LARGE 34-36

i made these today and im a large. it was 24in width and 24in from bottom to top and my sides were 4 in and it worked amazing for me

I printed this pattern out today and after several adjustments (3 pairs of knickers later) I almost have the perfect pattern for me! Thanks so much for giving me a starting point - I think I am addicted to knickers now!

I love this! But I'm just gonna tear the elastic off of some underwear I don't use anymore. I will just use my own under wear as my own model too. Maybe my method might be a bit easier instead of getting measuring you're body.

can i make this with a woven fabric or does it have to be stretch??

i looooved this episode so thanks for sharing the pattern. i can't wait to make my own!! i agree with bringing her back for swimsuit season! i would love to make my own custom suit!

How can i print this pattern out??? I really really really wanna make a pair!

How many inches do I add to each measurement to make a large pair? I can't wait to try and make them!

I can't for the life of me, get this pattern to work with my size (medium) I pretty much took a guess at how wide it should be compaired to the small- and it worked okay... but not great. I'm probably better off just cutting up an old pair and going from there...

YAY! I'm so glad I'm not the only people out there who thinks that it would be awesome to make your own underwear. So many possibilities! Thanks so much for sharing this, I'll be linking.

love love love it! please bring her back for swim suit season! i would love to see more on making undies, too. ya know, ladies like cute undies all the time. not just valentines day!

Gosh! This is such a neat project! I would LOVE to see a follow up video/post/blog/whatever on some other variations for the undies.

Love Love this idea. You so can make all types of colors and patterns.. Thanks

you could always take apart an old pair of good fitting underwear to use as a pattern for the perfect fit.

I have noticed the cute undies by Clare Bare on Etsy, and to see her demonstrate in the video made it seem like something I ...might...be able to do on my own. But you know what? Her prices are so reasonable, I think I'll just keep my eye on her shop!

this is sooo cute! Must make sum now!! >

this is friggen Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!! i'd really like a balcony bra to go with this!!!

I love those, i haven't made them yet, but i will (: Valentine will be some much more fun this year with these undies on, if you know what i mean, hihi :3 Thank you so much!

i'm having so much trouble with this pattern D: i tried to make one using the same measurements, but i cut it wrong and it didn't fit right at all... idk how to get it right -o-

Thank you so much Clare for doing an episode and sharing your pattern with us. I would like to see more of you in future threadbanger episodes. (I can't remember if you were in past episodes, I haven't seen them all yet.) You were really informative and easy to follow. Thank you so much for the very cute underwear pattern.

this is so cool!!!!!! where did you get that elastic? it's so cute ^ ^

Oh, I forgot to say this earlier! If you think this pattern will be too small, then I have an idea! Just don't sew the sides on the panties together- You can sew on pretty ribbon (or a handful of little ribbons or satiny cording) to each of the side pieces and tie them into cute little bows on your hips! :-)

This would fit a fat quarter of fabric perfectly! :-) Awesome weekend project!

FORGET going to victorias secret anymore this are awesome!

I just watched the Valentines Special and it's just that kind of pattern and underwear I have been looking for and couldn't find! I want to pair them up with a litle underbust. Thank you very much Clare :) Ana

I really want to try these out but I noticed that in the picture the measurement on the sides (3.5 inches) looks about the same as the measurement in the middle (2.5 inches). I'm sure if I made my own pattern using the diagram as guidance the leg holes would be all wrong. Does any one have a pattern that's to scale? I can't wait to make my own!!

the panties are a little on the so call sexy side but what if you want plain, but still pretty , but not sexy panties?

I'm more of a large than a small... how do I adjust the measurements?

is it to scale??
