Hmmm. Ok I'll try it and I'm gonna baste it first so I can adjust as neccesary. I'm gonna hit up a fabric store a couple counties over next week. They are having a bi-yearly sale that's really good. They sale alot of lace trims so hopefully I'll find some stretch lace. You know it's amazing how the hubby didn't complain when I told him I was gonna get the supplies and make some lace panties!
Yesterday I was making a different style of panties and all I had to do left was sew on the elastic lace trim and when I pulled it out of the package it had NO stretch. What a way to ruin the fun.
Hey SaraBeth!
That riding up is not fun! There's a couple of things you can do to help eliminate that.
First, I would use your own measurements, and make up a pair of these skivvies. It could be that the RTW pair are simply too big and causing the ride-up. If that's not it, I would:
Measure your crotch curve. Start measuring from the front where you like your skivvies to sit; take the measure tape between your legs to your backside where your skivvies will sit. See if that measurement is the same as your RTW skivvies. Make the necessary adjustments to your pattern by shortening or lengthening the crotch area.
Good luck and report back! Happy Sewing :)
So I'm gonna get some stretch lace and make a pair. I have a store bought pair. The only thing I don't like about them is they are a little loose around my booty so they want to ride up. I was thinking of putting a little underwear elastic around the legs to help hold them over the bottom. Maybe even just from the side to the crotch since the front is a good fit. Your thoughts?
