High Waist Full Cut Digital Sewing Pattern

$16.00

An uber-comfortable, everyday classic- this design is a true high rise, made to sit several inches above the belly button. The fit is just a little cheeky, just full enough to stay in place.

Includes directions for making your first pair of underwear with easy adjustments to customize this pattern to your proportions and fit preferences, as well as instructions for four different trim options. My hope is that this pattern makes it easy and accessible to create something beautiful and functional for your everyday life, and to play and create something that’s perfectly you.

This is a digital PDF sewing pattern- no physical paper copy is included.

  • This pattern includes sizes 0-34 (XS-5X)
    Fits hip measurements 32 ½ - 70” (82.5 - 178 cm) and waist measurements 22 ½ - 60” (57 - 152.5 cm)

  • This pattern is designed for four way stretch knit fabrics. An ideal material for this pattern will stretch 50-100% horizontally and 40-80% vertically. Most jersey knits with some lycra content will fall into this category, and are an ideal choice for this pattern.

    You will need ½ - 1 yard of fabric

    For trim:
    2 yards decorative or fold over elastic
    OR
    a teesy bit of extra body fabric for binding
    OR
    2 yards chantilly lace

    Specialty Tools:

    • Sewing machine with zigzag capabilities (serger not necessary, though handy!)

    • Ball point or stretch sewing needle

  • For confident beginners. Includes introductory information on working with knits and stretch materials, step by step illustrated instructions, and a detailed sewalong video to guide you. If you’ve never worked with knits and/or elastic before but are up for a challenge this can be a great first knitwear project. It uses a relatively small amount of material and doesn’t take too long to make, so you can learn through repetition.

    • How to print your pattern PDF

    • Fully Illustrated Instruction Booklet with primer on sewing knit fabrics

    • Print at home files for US Letter + A4 printers

    • Large format/copy shop pattern files
