Hipsters are a comfortable everyday style for a child. Panties with an elastic waistband and facings are perfect for small children. They are often used as underwear, because such products do not fall off and protect the child’s body well.
If you love to sew, try making some hipster panties for your little one.
What you need for sewing
Before you get started, you will need to prepare the following.
- Cotton knitted fabric: cooler or interlock. Old T-shirts are allowed.
- Elastic knitted fabric - ribana.
- Sewing machine or overlocker.
- Tools: tailor's pins, scissors.
Details and pattern of children's hipsters
Hipsters include four parts: front, back halves, two gussets. For the inner gusset, it is better to use a plain, thinner knitwear.
The parts are cut out according to the templates suggested on the pattern. It is universal. Print the pattern and enlarge according to the specified dimensions. Cut out paper templates to life size.Place the templates of the halves on the canvas, secure with tailor's pins and cut out.
From the ribana, cut out a belt 8 cm wide, 30 cm long. And also two facings 6 cm wide, 20 cm long.
IMPORTANT! The fold line of the halves template should coincide with the vertical loops of the knitwear. Cut out the details of the belt and facings, focusing on the vertical stripes of the rib.
How to sew panties for children
ATTENTION! If you have little experience working with an overlocker or sewing machine, we recommend that you pre-baste the parts or fasten them with tailor’s pins.
- Overlock processing the front edge of the inner gusset.
- We attach a gusset to the front half.
- Next you need sew the back part to the gusset panties and sew the inner gusset at the same time. To do this, fold the parts right sides together with the back of the fabric and place the raw edge of the inner gusset. We connect all three parts along the edge.
- After ironing the seams connect the side edges panties.
- Further grind the edges of the facings and the belt.
- Before attaching the waistband, fold it in half. Next, aligning the seam of the belt with the side seam of the product with right sides, grind the edges of the folded parts.
ATTENTION! When making a seam, it is necessary to evenly straighten and stretch the ribbed belt along the girth of the fabric so that folds do not form.
- To attach the facing, fold it in half. We combine the seam of the facing with the side seam of the product, attach it along the edge with an overcast seam, stretching it evenly around the perimeter.
- Sew the second facing in the same way.
- Finally, fasten the thread seams, trim the ends of the threads, and turn the product right side out.
