Great pattern for kids' underwear?

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Hello everyone!
I don't post much on this forum, but am looking for some help!
After searching for quite some time for a source for kids' organic undergarments, I've decided that the only way for this to be affordable is to make them myself. I'd be looking to make girls' panties, boys' boxers, undershirts for both (sleeveless and long-sleeved), and possibly long underwear.
Does anyone have a favourite pattern they can recommend for these items? I suspect I won't find them with the mainstream pattern companies.
Thanks so much!
Alissa

(you must add seem allowance to this pattern)


Ottobre magazine also has had some really cute undershirt/panties/boxer patterns but I dont remember which mag it was

I figured it out for you:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Ottobre-Design-m...#ht_500wt_1156

It has all of the patterns you are looking for in one magazine, and they look super cute!

Click 'english' top right, and then use the arrow to scroll to winter 2004, click it and you can see all of the designs included.

Yes, this issue of Ottobre, 04/2004, is very popular for the basics. You can buy it online at Banberry Place.

Thanks so much, ladies! I ordered that issue of Ottobre (although directly from them as I didn't know about Banberry Place!), and ordered a pile of organic fabric from Near Sea Naturals. Let the underwear-sewing begin.

Thanks! I just got a stack of DH's t-shirts (he constantly gets promotional-advertising shirts)that I was trying to figure out what to do with other than rip them for rags. I think Ill be making up the boys a bunch of undershirts

Cool, I actually already have that pattern but have never used it! Thanks, I'll give it a try while I wait for my Ottobre to arrive.

You won't regret buying that issue of Ottobre! It was my very first and has been used SO much!

The newest issue of Ottobre has a lot of undewear in it, www.ottobredesign.com

We love TDK (that darn kat) undies, search Etsy. I started making all my girls undies from the TDK pattern & they love them.
