Burda Style For people who sew

Try the panties on. If you like the look of them as they are, or if you realized just now that you forgot to buy underwear elastic, to finish you can just serge the edges or zigzag the raw edge of the fabric (catching the sides of the gusset piece as you do so to attach firmly)- the picture shows how this looks. Certainly this option has the benefit of allowing the fabric to rest against your bottom/legs rather than squeezing into your flesh as elastic can, so you avoid the dreaded Visible Panty Line. However, your panties will have a less homemade look and will probably last longer if you do put some elastic around the legholes.
