Thongs are a type of women's underwear that is distinguished by its openness and sexuality. Consisting of a triangular panel at the front and a thin strip at the back, these panties come in three styles: traditional, thong and G-string. Despite the fact that they may bring some discomfort to some, most girls still consider thongs to be one of the most comfortable types of panties that can be worn under tight clothes.
We'll tell you how to sew them with your own hands.
Materials and tools for sewing thongs
For many girls, sewing their own underwear is considered something unrealistic. In fact, everything is very simple! And creating new panties, after the test sample is sewn, will not take much time and effort in the future.
To sew miniature guipure thongs, you need to stock up on the following materials:
- bi-elastic knitwear - 25cm;
- bi-elastic mesh - 25cm;
- elastic, eight-millimeter braid - 2m;
- scissors;
- threads, needles;
- paper and pencil for the pattern.
Constructing a pattern
You can use ready-made panties as ready-made patterns for cutting prepared fabric. Those who want to learn the basics of drawing drawings from scratch should familiarize themselves with the recommendations below.
What measurements are needed
The basis for constructing a basic pattern for the lower part of underwear is considered to be two measurements.
- Seat height. Measurements are taken in a sitting position. Measurements begin on the side of the body from the protrusion of the ilium. Draw a centimeter line along the buttock to the most protruding point and release it to the seat or horizontal of the chair.
- Waist circumference. Measured at the narrowest point of the waist.
Important! If it is not possible to make accurate calculations of the length of a solid side braid, it can be replaced with ties.
Thong pattern based on the basic panty pattern
Taking the basic linen pattern as a basis, you need to take into account several points.
- The pattern is built on the basis waist circumference parameters reduced by 10% and length reduced by 5%.
- The size of the elements changes at the top of the product. To determine the location of these elements, it is necessary to measure 20 cm upward from the level of the bottom line of the diagram on the front part, and 5 or 6 cm on the back.
- In the case of sewing panties with a sewn gusset on the front part, set aside 8 cm upwards. In this version, the lining will be sewn along with it.
- If the gusset is one-piece, when creating the pattern for the front of the thong, you need to put a certain mark at the stitching point.
- The sections are joined with flat sutures.
