There are a large number of different models of panties. Each of them has its pros and cons and is suitable for different situations and clothing.
Many owners of sewing machines sometimes have the desire to please loved ones and sew some piece of clothing themselves. For example, home-sewn underpants can be a wonderful and original gift for a man.
What measurements are needed to create a pattern?
Briefs with a gusset are a very popular model. Many males choose it because of its comfort.
To sew such a product yourself, first of all you will need a pattern.
An incorrectly executed pattern drawing can result in the finished product being uncomfortable. And the threads will begin to tear over time, even if the panties are loose-fitting.
At first glance, it may seem that making a pattern is quite simple. However, it is not. Especially many difficulties can arise if you need to sew a large product.
The pattern is very similar to the very top of men's trousers. Therefore, in order to make the most accurate drawing, you will need to make the necessary calculations. And if necessary, make changes when trying on. After this, the finished pattern can be used in the future. For example, for sewing summer shorts.
Underwear should be hygienic, practical and comfortable. Therefore, it is recommended to use natural fabrics: satin, cotton, chintz. The width of the canvas used should be 90 and 150 cm.
To make the correct pattern, you need to take measurements. You need to know the following parameters:
- St - half waist circumference.
- Sb - semi-circumference of the hips. Measured at their widest part.
- About - hip circumference. You need to measure at the highest part of the thigh.
To get the most accurate result, It is advisable to take measurements several times.
IMPORTANT! If, when taken again, the dimensions do not differ from the originally obtained result, then the measurements were taken correctly.
After the measurements are taken, you need to add a few centimeters to the result obtained. You need to add 2 cm to your waist circumference and 6 cm to your hip size.
How to make a pattern for men's family briefs with a gusset
When all the measurements have been taken, you can begin making the pattern. For this You will need graph paper, a ruler and a pencil. All points are indicated by corresponding letters.
Step-by-step pattern making
- First you need to draw a vertical line. Let the vertex be designated by the letter A.
From top A you need to draw the height of the seat. Let the second point be B.The final length of the product will be calculated using the formula: AB2=AB+7, where 7 is the increase.
IMPORTANT! The resulting value will be the same for both the front and back of the product.
- From the obtained points A, B, and B2 you need to set aside Sat. 1 cm should be added to this value. New points should be given a letter designation: A1, B1 and B3.
- From point B1 draw a line to the right. The length of the line should be equal to 1/6 of the hip circumference.
- At the next stage, you need to find vertex C. To find it out, you should divide the half-circumference of your hips by 6. Then subtract another 1.8 cm.
- The segment should be connected. From points C and C you need to set aside 1 cm.
- You need to add 1 cm to vertex A1. The resulting point needs to be connected to vertex A.
- From the resulting line, half the waist measurement should be set aside with an increase of 3 cm. The resulting top needs to be given a letter designation, let it be T.
- A smooth concave line needs to connect the vertices of A1, B1 and C. This will be the front seam line;
For convenience, you can use ready-made patterns that can be easily found on the Internet.
When making your own patterns, do not forget that all measurements must be taken correctly, and the drawing must be drawn carefully.

Halturite, I didn’t find point B on the drawing.
but I still haven’t found the gusset.....
Good afternoon. Please check the numbering of the panty pattern points. There is no letter C in the figure; it appears in the records. Point B is not on the same line as point A. Everything is confused. I thought I’d get a normal pattern from you, but no...
