    Ottobre 5/2009 Hipsters Sew Along- Day 1

    Day 1
    For hipsters,
    -Pattern-Ottobre 5/2009
    -about half a yard of cotton jersey, rayon jersey, bamboo jersey, or fine (not too stretchy) rib knit
    -1/2" elastic
    -if you are sensitive, you may also want a scrap of white cotton jersey for the crotch

    Step 1: Determine Size. I found this pattern to be accurate for sizing. Use your body measurements to determine the correct size.

    Step 2: Trace pattern
    Step 3: Add seam allowance where needed (side seams and bottom edges of crotch). You don't need to add seam allowances to the leg openings of the hipsters.



    **If you have a pair of undies that fit you well, check the crotch gusset piece against your undies. If you are comfortable with adjusting patterns, you can adjust the pattern as needed now to narrow or widen the crotch slightly. Do NOT worry if they seem too tall. We will adjust the rise later in this sew along.

    The crotch gusset pattern piece was a pretty close match to my favorite pair of undies. I suggest making the pattern as written the first time. It gives a good to great fit to many body sizes and types. You can then make slight adjustments to perfect the fit to your body. Until you know how these will fit you, do not cut out 20 pairs of panties. That is a sure way to know that you will need to adjust the pattern.
