Introduction
Knickers, pants, panties, bloomers, briefs, shorties, drawers, pantaloons, tangas, thongs – they’ve had different names and shapes throughout history, changing with the shape and style of the fashion worn and the fabrics available. Our little book picks out our favourite shapes and fun styles that can be made at home with little expense.
Lingerie making has always had a little mystery about it but the truth is they’re just smalls… and they make lovely little sewing projects. We hope to demystify this and make sewing your smalls fun.
If you’re reading this in America (or anywhere else where pants mean trousers and knickers could mean anything at all), you might need to know that ‘knickers’ is a classic British term for ladies’ underwear and carries with it the concept of frills, frivolity and fun. It’s also something the Brits have been known to utter as an exclamation when things haven’t gone quite as planned!
We hope you enjoy making these knickers, and then wearing your end products even more!
