New Knickers

I don't know if you have ever tried to buy knickers for little girls with tinsy tiney bottoms, but the fit doesn't work for my little miss.  Last year i purchased a very awesome pattern from That Darn Kat from Esty to make a boy leg type knicker that did not have to use elastic.  They cover the entire bottom area which is an added bonus for decency and modesty.  I made eight last ya for her in size two, which has fitted snugly, but in the last few weeks have suddenly become a tad too snug ... Given that I had the material in the cupboard I couldn't justify going out and buying her new ones.  So, with the kids playing reasonably nicely this morning, i got some whipped up.  I have nine pairs for her in total, so have made four and a half up, will hopefully finish the other four and a half within the next few days.  If you have a basic sewing machine, can sew a straight stitch, you can make these.

  Last year I also   adapted it into a bigger size for myself - while they are certainly  not super sexy seducing material (Ii call them my Bridget Jones knickers) they are comfy and the cotton lycra has worn very well.
