The great thing about lingerie pattern cutting is

The great thing about lingerie pattern cutting is that you only need a few essential tools to get started. 📐 ✏️ ✂️

For lingerie pattern cutting the pattern pieces will be very small compared to outerwear pattern cutting so you can actually use A4 printer paper to create your patterns which is very handy! You can also use cross and dot paper or card for durability.

📐 A pattern master is pretty much what it says, it helps you to create the right angles, it helps you to create curves, it helps you to measure, it even helps you to add seam allowances on.

🪡 The French curve ruler is great for getting really nice, smooth curves. I prefer to use the French curve rather than the pattern master ruler for curves.

✏️ For lingerie pattern cutting it needs to be really precise, so use a sharp or retractable pencil. You can use a pen but use that for the final lines because more often than not you will have to rub out lines as you create your pattern.

✂️ And lastly you will need a pair of paper scissors so you can cut your amazing patterns out!

Don’t forget to follow for more lingerie making tips. 💖

PS. the NEW Dream Knicker Drawer pattern cutting online course is now open for a limited early bird price. 📐🫶🏻👙

If you want to check your pattern pieces match up

If you want to check your pattern pieces match up don’t forget to do this!

If you are new to using sewing patterns or pattern cutting the very first thing you need to do is to take off/mark on your seam allowances to check your pattern pieces match up and then match up the SEW LINE.

Seam allowances can make pattern pieces look like they don't match up and this can be especially confusing it you are new to using sewing patterns or adjusting your patterns.

My best tip -

🌟Think about how you are actually sewing the pattern pieces together.

This will help you understand it's the sew line that is important not the edge of the pattern piece.

Matching your pattern up is one of the foundational techniques of pattern cutting.

You'll need to do this to change the pattern for alterations or pattern hacks.

Part 2. I’ve been making my own period pants sin

Part 2. I’ve been making my own period pants since 2020 and it has changed my period in more positive ways than I could ever had imagined.

As well as saving money and reducing landfill waste, and having a comfier period, making my own period pants has led me onto a personal path of healing.

When I started doing something for myself for that time of the month my mindest started to shift.

Even since I started, I *hated* my period and the way it made me feel. I felt ashamed and in a lot of pain at the same time. I thought this was normal.

When I started making my own period pants I started doing something for the part of myself that I hated.

I started changing the negative experience to a more positive experience.

I still have a long way to go but the period community has given me a different way of looking at my period and I now can heal my trauma, and I subsequently have a better period I ever used to have.

I am super passionate about period health and talking more about periods. I hope that my Moontide pattern and kits will help others too.

I also have a free pad pattern on my blog that anyone can download.

I want to thank the amazing period community on Instagram that I connect with including an absolute angel Chloe stickings who has been helping me for the last few months. ❤️

If you are interested in healing your period then 100% check @chloestickings out. She also has an amazing period group programme coming soon too!

(A but of an emotional one for me but I felt called to share it.)

Part 1. I’ve been making my own period pants sin

Part 1. I’ve been making my own period pants since 2020 (it was actually the end of 2019 🤦🏻‍♀️.)

So I thought it would be Interesting to see how much money I have saved on disposable sanitary wear as well as how many pieces I’ve saved from going to landfill.

I have a subscription service for my sanitary wear so I am able to work out the actual amount I have saved.

So since 2019 compared with to 2021 I have saved £44.30 and 72 individual items of disposable sanitary wear from going to landfill.

I’m still using a few disposable sanitary items per period but I hope to cut down on these too and these new period pants that I made will hopefully help me with that!

So if you want to reduce waste, save money on sanitary wear and have a more comfier period then making your own amazing option for that!

I developed the Moontide period pants pattern which has six different flow variations as well as organic cotton period panty kits so you can easily sew your own! ❣️

❤️ Find the link in bio to the pattern and kits!
