It's time to sew along with Monica! Monica, who is in her 40s, is chasing her boys around all day, so her favorite everyday undies are boyshorts! She's making 2 different styles of knit print undies with nice, wide waistbands to maximize comfort. One is her favorite boyshorts and one is a hipster, both using her patterns, Bravo Bottoms #1 for the Hipster and Bravo Bottoms #2 for the Boyshorts. This kit will make 2 pairs of undies for most people. Monica will show you how to do a variety of waist and leg options so that you can find your favorite!
We've sourced all sorts of wonderful fabrics, colors and laces for the Bee, and this is your opportunity to make some matching sets. We are offering our undie kits in 2 sizes, Larger and Smaller. Typically, our Smaller kit works easily for women up to a size Large, and the Larger kit can do any size. Many gals who are smaller in size purchase our Larger kits and get multiple pairs of undies to go with their bra. I wear a size XL and I can get 3 pairs of briefs from a Larger kit. Women who are a smaller size can often get 2-3 pairs of undies from a Smaller, depending on style. Some undies are very tiny! You can also upgrade to include matching thread, additional elastics, an absorbent crotch or extra cotton jersey (useful for making more pairs of undies). This kit is a bit larger than our typical kit so that you can get both pairs of undies with your kit.
