Old Ts = New Panties!

This morning I decided to delve deep into my pile of grody tshirts and fold over elastic and made these:

I bought the fold over elastic on ebay from seller Hobovian here. It was a good price for the quantity I wanted to start with, I bought 10 yards each of 4 different colors. I also used some elastic I picked up a Fabric Depot awhile ago. Bright green 1/2″ non roll and some fancy orange ruffled stuff, you can see both of these on the pink leopard spotted pair.

The fold over elastic pretty self-explanatory but incase you haven’t used it before, here’s a link to Angry Chicken’s tutorial which is definitely helpful.

I just cut apart a pair of old panties that had been washed with crayons last week (thanks Thomski!) and made a new pattern from them. They were cut from an old Epoxies tshirt and I believe the pattern was originally from this link on www.supernaturale.com.

They end up looking big, but trust me the pattern is perfect for some slightly cheeky, full coverage underpants. I’m going to work on some silky ones next. Yay!
