How to Draft Undies — Sewing With Numbers Project 008 Draft-It-Yourself Manual
This pdf manual will teach you how to draft two undies designs: a bikini brief and high-cut briefs. The pdf includes two printable worksheets, a section on drafting with stretch fabric and a section on cleaning up seam allowances for easier sewing.
This manual is an adaptation of a newsletter series that I created for my Substack, Sewing With Numbers. When you purchase this interactive pdf, you will receive all of the tutorials and information needed to draft two styles of undies to your custom size and preferences. (NOTE: This pdf does NOT include instructions for sewing the undies. See this video tutorial for details on construction.)
LESSONS INCLUDED:
Understanding Negative Ease
How to Draft Bikini Briefs
How to Draft High Cut Briefs
How to Clean Up Seam Allowances
SKILL LEVEL: I recommend this manual for people with an intermediate sewing skill level and beginner or intermediate pattern drafting. If you don't feel confident doing the sewing construction on your own, then this booklet is not for you.
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: PATTERN PIECES ARE NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT. This is an instruction booklet for how to draft a tiered skirt to your custom measurements. This booklet DOES NOT include instructions on how to sew and construct the garment. (See this video tutorial for details on construction.) Due to the nature of digital products, there are no refunds. Please read the description carefully. THIS IS NOT A PATTERN NOR IS IT A FINISHED GARMENT.

ABOUT SEWING WITH NUMBERS
Sewing With Numbers is a newsletter hosted on Substack about sewing, math and how to draft your own sewing patterns. Through simple pattern drafting exercises, I'll show you how fun, useful and empowering math can be. Every 8 to 10 weeks, I feature a different drafting project, with each lesson building upon the learnings from previous ones. (This pdf booklet is a bundle of all the posts needed to draft one project.) The newsletter goes out about once a week with topics such as drafting exercises and design variations.
