70's Inspired Panti Brief Sewing Pattern

Welcome to my carefully crafted & tested sewing pattern and step-by-step instructions for creating the most perfect and customizable vintage inspired briefs! 

Created for the beginner sewer in mind - making a basic pair with no extra details is easy in under one hour. There are no side seams! 

I go over additional optional techniques to try such as pattern drafting a gathered yoke, or decorating with special lace appliqué. 

Thorough detailed written instructions and corresponding video will guide you effortlessly to ensure a perfect fit and professional finish.

Materials needed:

1/2 - 1 yard. Of a 2 - way stretch (more vintage - like) (or 4 way) for the brief body and gusset face fabric.

And a very small amount of 100% cotton lining for the gusset interior. I use an old t shirt for mine. 

I found a synthetic lightweight micro knit material as it closely mimicked the material of the vintage nylon panties I sourced for research. I've also made these in a few other similar weight materials all dead stock & reclaimed. I encourage you to try to repurpose as well!

It was all priced really cheap at recycled materials centers, thrift stores, even cutting up old robes or slips with stretch work great.

A thin cotton jersey would also be nice. This is the most breathable option, I suggest finding the lightest weight possible.  

Consider a good stretch and bounce back for a snug fit as thats the most important thing.

Elastic: About 1.5 yards. Consider the comfort of your elastic in terms of rigidity/stiffness, I'd choose a soft narrow elastic 1/8inch wide. Picot or fold over elastic could be used however I don't cover it in this tutorial. 

Sizing: I used "universal US standards" for my sizing and tested on a few friends.

XS - 26" waist

S - 27" waist

M - 28" waist

L - 32" waist

XL - 34" waist

XLL - 37" waist

These patterns are really easy to take out or let in if needed.
