Underwear for Joshua

I had bought some fabric a while back for Joshua but never made anything from it. Now that he's 7 years old, the fabric is just a little too young for him to wear as clothing, so I decided to use it up in underwear. I first tried out Jalie 2328 in the boxer brief style.



I also tried out the boxer brief style in the other Jalie pattern, Jalie 2327.



He said he liked both of them but the first one would be better in winter as they make him feel a little too warm right now. Fair enough. I thought I would also try the briefs style from Jalie 2327. He said he liked that style the best, so I was able to make 12 pairs from that fabric. I used size 8 on all pairs.

1 ruined shirt = 2 pairs of cute underwear

Isabella ruined a shirt by getting some hard tar-like substance on it. Since I couldn't give the shirt away, I made a couple of pairs of underwear for her from the shirt. The pattern used is Jalie 2564, size 5. The elastic was attached flat, as opposed to in the round.

Underwear shorts

Expanding upon the self-consciousness that Katerina feels in the hockey change room, these shorts will replace her underwear. When she tried on the half-cami last night she said she also feels "funny" showing her underwear. She said she wanted underwear shorts. So, from the same old t-shirt that I made the half-cami, I made these shorts from the pattern Jalie 2796, size 8. I used the existing hem from the shirt on the hem of the shorts. I ended up putting on the waistband backwards so I embroidered "BACK" on the back of the waistband so Katerina will know which way to put them on.

Half-camisole for Katerina

Although Katerina is only 7 years old, she is starting to feel a little self-conscious in the hockey change room. I'm hoping this half-camisole will ease her feelings. I didn't want to make a full one because she wears an under-armour shirt and I think it probably would have been too hot for her. This is made from an old t-shirt of mine and the pattern used is Jalie 2564, size 8. I didn't make the straps adjustable, though. I fitted the cami to her and permanently sewed the straps.

Underwear for Isabella

The pattern is the Jalie pattern as this post, but size 5, and also I used binding instead of elastic. I actually made 8 pairs of underwear but Isabella wanted to wear one, so only 7 are pictured.

Underwear

Just to see if I could, I made some underwear for Katerina.

The pattern used was Jalie 2564, size 8. The underwear was originally an old shirt of mine that I never wear anymore. It had the proper amount of stretch so I thought I would give it a go. Katerina thinks they are great.
