Woohoo!
100 SewVeraVenus blog followers as of today, a nice round number 
Thank you all so very much for your interest in SewVeravenus!
So to celebrate I thought I’d put up the super-easy version of my ‘Grannie Pannies‘ the big-knickers that I was making patterns for a couple of months back.
A printable-cut-it-out-and-stick-it-together-with-tape pattern.
(UK size 10/12 , that’s hips 36′ to 39″, but easily grade-able to bigger/smaller sizes by following the Threads Magazine grading advice.
The pattern can be downloaded from the VVPatterns & Tutorials page.
Fabrics: one or two way stretch jerseys, stretch silk, stretch lace, cotton lycra…
Have at it- cut ‘em out, stretch-stitch together…. zig-zag stitch some elastic at the waist and legs and presto your very own big-yet-ever-so-sexy-knickers.
Bridget Jones eat your heart out.

You are most welcome. I think pretty lingerie is one of the most satisfying things to sew…. and fairly quick to do too!

Undies are so expensive to buy and the elastic goes after a few washes. Mum used to make them so you could change the elastic when it went.
I make my own and match up the bras lot cheaper and fun than buying them
