Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The Roller Derby Shorties are here to be cute and comfortable both lounging at home and as a swimsuit bottom. The seamless front and back are perfect for panels and the lined gusset gives comfort and a beautiful look inside and out. The edges are finished with fold over elastic and gives a super cute retro vibe. You can pick from exposed elastic or a knit waistband for your perfect look and comfort feel. You can also choose from low rise, mid rise or high rise for different looks and whatever suits you best. You can pick from cheeky cut that shows off just a little bit of your backside, brief cut that will just cover all the cheeks, or shorties which go down the thigh some. For an adorable detail you can also add a little bow/faux drawstring on the knit waistband.
Pattern options for the Roller Derby Shorties includes:
- Leg Lines: Cheeky / Brief / Shorties
- Rises: Low Rise/ Mid Rise / High Rise
- Waistband: Exposed Elastic / Knit Band
- Optional Faux Drawstring for Knit Band
The Roller Derby Pattern is drafted for high stretch knit fabrics.
