Pattern Description: Misses' bikini panties, view B.

Pattern Sizing: XS to XL.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I like them in person better than the picture on the envelope.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? KS just makes good patterns with good directions, and this is no exception.

Fabric Used: A cotton lycra knit from a local fabric store.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I sewed the leg elastic on the flat and just pulled it more taut in the back than the front, with very little stretch in the front.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, for sure!

I finally perfected the fit of this pattern by:
Shortening and narrowing the crotch from the center to the front.
Widening the crotch a teeny bit at the seam edge in the back.
Taking all 3/8" seams.
Shortening the elastic a couple of inches.

Conclusion: A very easy pattern that comes out looking like RTW panties.

Buy this pattern for $10.99     Add to Bag Add to Bag
