If you are frustrated trying to find underwear that fits your body type, you may want to sew your own underwear. Don’t be intimated by sewing undergarments. It is easier than you may think!
These free underwear sewing patterns will help you make your own panties customized to your own size. Many of these free underwear patterns have a video tutorial, in addition to clear instructions.
From high waist panties to t-shirt underwear, there are free lingerie patterns in a variety of different styles.
