I made these using Sewhappy Clothes’ bikini brief pattern. My fabric was not as stretchy as hers so they’re the slightest bit tight but I’m happy with them. I used stretch lace instead of elastic to finish the edges. I just ordered 10 yards of lingerie elastic so, probably more will be coming soon. Best part, it only took about 30 minutes! It also happens to match a slip I made this summer. The slip is an out of print Simplicity pattern.

Thanks! I really like the way the lace makes the panties fit, almost like boyshorts.
