knickers!

Yes, I’m a Brit, and to me they are *knickers*, not panties :)  

My friend Allison and I decided to get together for an afternoon of crafty goodness and we thought the OneHourCraft sexy Valentine’s Day string panties tutorial would be a good place to start.

After we had spent a while giggling and examining animal prints in the fabric store, we settled on a subtle black floral pattern, with some fancy black elastic and purpley red ribbon ties.

We modified the pattern template because it looked a little too small (aka revealing) for us, and then we pinned and sewed and pinned and sewed and… no, this was not a “one hour” craft for us! And my poor hubby had to studiously avoid listening to us discussing underwear all afternoon. But it was so much fun – I can see why people are starting up craft groups all over the place now; crafting with a friend is a very different experience to crafting by yourself.

And, eventually, look what we made (click to supersize): 


Mine are the ones on the left

They ended up looking really good - I think we were both a little surprised by how well they turned out.

Thanks Allison – we’ll have to do it again some time!

    It was so much fun June… next time we should throw some martinis into the mix! Our seams might not end up so straight though :)
