- My Top 5 Free Knicker Patterns - Easy Sewing Projects Vlog
#dressmaking #handmade #sewing
In this sew and tell video I am sharing with you 5 free pdf knicker patterns that you can download and make into easy peasy knickers. I have never made knickers before so I thought I would try out 5 patterns to see what they were like. They really are easy to make, all you need is some offcut jersey fabric and some pretty elastic. I am completely blown away by how easy and quick they are to make.
Join me for sewing chatter and more details on the knickers I have made.
An easy DIY sewing project and easy for beginner sewists too. Some lovely slow fashion ideas.
I have added all the links for each free pattern below!

OMG!! I’ve always thought “knickers” are so poorly made!!! I’m going to make my own. You’ve literally encouraged me so much!!!!
They look great. I'm going to give these a go. Thank you!💕🙋♀️
Thank you, you are so inspiring.
Those are really pretty Jayne! I love all the fabrics you chose also. Beautiful ❤❤
Excellent!!! Must have a go!!!!! 😀✂️❤️
Thank you! Very helpful!
Thanks Jayne. I’m just venturing in to stretch sewing and will definitely use my scraps as nickers. ❤️
The elastic is pretty! 😍
Brilliant piece of information! Going to start making my own from now on!
I’ve never made knickers, but these look easy and fun. Thanks for sharing the five free PDF patterns and explaining the differences. I appreciate the time and effort it took to make your video. I felt I was sitting in a rocker across from you chatting. God bless you.
You are so welcome!
Love it. The knickers are fab! All of them! Thanks for doing all the ground work for us. Brilliant project idea. Gonna give them a try! Really enjoyed your video.
Thank you so much. Well presented to us. Great info
Thanks again. Meg
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you!
You make it look easy.
Hi Joyce, thank you it really is though. I can do a step by step sew a long again if its something you would find useful. Jayne x
Thanks for the reviews. I prefer the lower rise ones for myself. Hopefully the patterns are still available for free.
Wow! Youve been busy!! I love how pretty they all are!
They are so comfy too 😘
I loved your video I’m a great grandma so I’ll get the big ones.
Thank you! Love the underwear I'm going to try! I'm a beginner sewer. Love your cat!
Fab vlog thanks for all the info so helpful ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Fabulous, I’ve always been nervous of making knickers but wanted to make them! Must have a go
Hope you enjoy
Really helpful. Thanks ever so much. Think my mum and daughter will be getting knickers for Christmas xx
Have fun!
Thanks for the reviews. I’m going to try them. I think for me the higher rise is great for under dresses and the lower rise under pants.
I totally agree!
Very pretty. I’ve made the Maxine knickers. Think I’ll make some more as I’ve put on a teeny bit of weight. Great video Jayne.
Thank you ... they’re great aren’t they 😘
Nice!
Thank you Jayne for inspiring me to make the Maxine’s today. I can see me using up quite a lot of scraps. Hope your husband is on the mend after his painful bruising from his fall.
I agree, I feel inspired too! I studied fashion at university and I specialised in lingerie making. I teach sewing now and don't really find time to make things for myself. However since everyone has been on lockdown I have found more time for me. After watching this video I feel in the mood to get making again! 🙆🏼♀️💕💃
Thank you so much for this video and for the links for the patterns. I've been wanting to make myself some especially the larger ones. Some of the things that I make a full size panty fits much better under some pants or a dress.
They're brilliant! I'll have to give them a go....I don't have that many jersey scraps though would you believe! There's always a need for big pants 😂...I find them great for giving a seamless look when wearing a tighter dress.. and more comfortable when wearing with jeans! Xx
Oh my I’m addicted to making them seriously 🤣 you must give them a try 😘
Hi Jayne, I have made quite a few designs from Evie La Luve and really enjoyed making them 👍. I haven't tried any others, so I might try now I've seen yours 👌. Such a great thing to do with your scraps isn't it 😁💟😘
It’s just amazing what you can make from scraps .... I’m wearing the acacia today and they’re so comfy 😘
Hi. Great tutorials. Regarding the Noelle panty, there is a wonderful video tutorial to Sew - Along. I bought be kit from her web store and watch the video to sew it. I am new at sewing. Her video is super detailed.
Thanks for comparing them to each other side by side. It’s so helpful!
You are so welcome!
Those pieces left over would make a nice pair - two tone
Hi Jayne,
Great video.
I am definitely going to have a go. Thanks for all the info you give. 💖 Your crochet channel also.
Hi Merl your so very welcome I really enjoyed making and sharing them with you ... they are so comfy ... wearing some today .... I cannot believe I am wearing my own knickers 🤣😘
@@TheDressmakersCloset that's great! If feels so good to make and wear your own clothing! 🙂
Hi Jayne I would like to make the Noelle nickers. Please tell me how you calculated the length for the elastic as there are no instructions as you said. Thanks would really appreciate your help. Lovely video to watch. Love the accent so easy to listen to. Ella from South Africa.
I am doing my third acacia i absolutely love them ❤ (don't know how to add a picture sorry)
thanks!!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you , this is very helpful. I love you beautiful kitty cat :)
Thank you 😊
Hi there. I’ve made knickers as part of a learn to sew with knits course I did a few years ago but I don’t know what pattern we used. They are quite fun to make aren’t they? I like the Acacia which I already have the pattern for and the Stevie - which look a slightly higher leg which also look nice. Thanks for sharing. Diana
Your welcome thank you
Lovely fabrics for your knickers. Just getting into making knickers so this was really helpful. Thanks for sharing😻
Wow just found your vlogs. They are good. The high waisted knickers are great for high waisted trousers, if you wear the bikini knickers with high waist trouser you get a gap from the bikini top of knicker and the high waist. Doesnt look good and feels uncomfortable. They are lovely. xx
Thanks for the tips!
Great vlog Jayne! I always use my jersey scraps for knickers. I use the Paper Theory Stevie as my go to. It gives great bum coverage! I have got the Maxine pattern, which is great for wearing under higher waist trousers so you don’t get a tummy line! 😍❤️ I use an old white jersey tee shirt that I cut up to make the inside gussets 😘Have you tried giving men’s jersey underpants a go - completely different to knickers but another great scrap buster. I am sure John would be up for a pair 😁 A great online supplier of knicker elastic and where I get mine from is The English Couture Company x
Ooh thank you Lynne I will give them a look ... we’ve already joked about making some for John 😂
Loopy Mabel's Closet Thread Theory do a couple - I’ve made some for Garrett and they are great! 😍
Loved this! I also loved the 1st fabric and the blouse. What fabric and pattern is this? Great idea to uses sraps
Hi Pauline, the fabric was a digital print velour which was gifted to me in return of a blog post and the pattern is the Somerset Top by Maven Patterns. Its a great easy pattern to follow too! Jayne xxx
Cute cat😻
Ey up from Spain.
loved the video. loved the stevie knickers. but how do i get to print them??
There’s a link in the description box to take you to the pattern xx
Love love these, they turned out so nice, it’s been years since I made panties ( you say knickers!) . I’m going to give it a try again! Please tell me who makes the Somerset T you showed with the fabric left over for your knickers??
It has been ages since I made them too. Now after watching this I feel in the mood for making them! 🙆🏼♀️ Her fabric is gorgeous too! 😍
Could you please tell me who makes the Simerser T you showed?

12£ for a meter! Come to Reno NV. We have a great fabric store. I found their most expensive is around 12$ a yard and that is upholstery. I bought knicker fabric for 3-5 a yard and can’t wait to create starting tonight.
Yay that’s so good … I know why is jersey so expensive over here 😬 enjoy making your knickers xxx
When you were describing the method for putting elastic onto the pants, you mentioned getting a little step where the side seam ends at the lace, but I had a thought, you could do a small bar tack to flatten that bit of the seam that has the elastic. Am I making sense? If you don’t get what I’m rambling on about, please let me know. I also much prefer to add my elastic to the legs before joining the sideseams. 😬😀
Thank you that’s a good idea 👍🏻 xxx
The fabric left over could be used for cloth sanitary pads. Pauline. UK.
You can also use extra fabric scraps as an elastic substitute. Apply as if you would insert a neckband but on the waist band and leg areas. I haven't tried it yet myself but saw someone on Instagram do that. Looks super comfortable. I've only made ONE Acacia pair of knickers using fold over elastic on waistband and quarter inch braided elastic along legs. I added about an inch along waistline to cover belly more. They are wonderful and I definitely need more. I'll adjust gusset a little next time to extend forward a bit, but overall a great pattern.
Thanks so much for all your research :-) I'm not sure which are your favorite type. Care to share? Also, when I start the begining, my machine tires to "eat" the fabric, each time... super annoying. Any tips please?
Tissue paper under the beginning of stitching helps. Make sure bobbin area clean. I sometimes hold/pull the threads towards the back of machine when starting a stitch or push the garment with an awl or some other object to help feed the fabric under the presser foot. Use a jersey or stretch needle as well. 😉
Thanks for your blog! Your accent has be puzzled? I'm guessing UK. Keep up the good work! 👍
You are correct yes England x
I am allergic to elastic and have found panties with the elastic covered with fabric. Any suggestions on how to cover the elastic with fabric? Thank you.
You could try folding your fabric over twice to cover the elastic but this would make your pattern a bit smaller so you could add extra seam allowance in beforehand
Hi I would love to try these. It says I can get a free pattern but when I click on acacia I get a price for it. Is it no longer free?
Oh I think its still freebie but you may have to subscribe to the newsletter on the website xx
I could listen to you talk all day? Irish?
Thank you ☺️ no I’m English xxx
Sorry, but one of the reasons why I sew my own stuff is that I don't want to sponsor slavery in India and elswhere. So there is definitely a good reason to buy fabric to make your own stuff. I can't avoid the production of the fabrics because there are no good labels to trust how it was produced.
Bought clothes are never a good bargain, not matter what the price is.
2:04 Demonstrates the perfect way to get someone to stop watching your video. I do not have any jersey scraps and do not fit ready-to-wear sizes. So no, I cannot run out and buy cheap undergarments. I started watching this video based on the title, which you rudely contradict. #clickbait
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words
