Fancy Pants - make your own!

'I'll never have to buy another pair of knickers again!', I said as I arrived home after a knicker-making course at the Bristol Folk House.


My new fancy pants!


The course was led by Delia of Flo-Jo Boutique, who gave us a quick guide on how to make the fancy pants with a lovely selection of fabrics, elastic and bows to choose from. I have never used an over-locker before and it was a good chance to sew with one...quite scary!


Sarah put a fancy flower on the back of hers!







You can buy kits to make knickers from Flo-Jo's website and have a go at making your own fancy pants! Check out this video on Flo Jo's.
