I think that the вЂњsquigglyвЂќ lines indicate you should use a rubberized fabric or puckered cotton so that it has some stretch. IвЂ™m also fairly sure that these are done with a non stretch fabric, since this was 1952-53 and they didnвЂ™t have all the Lycra we have today. IвЂ™m 100% sure you cut two fabric and then join it together, and IвЂ™m also 100% sure that the lines indicate boning channels. Now as for putting the undies together, well, not yet, I donвЂ™t have any fabric.

I think part of the issue was, with the other patterns, you pretty much are all in one spot, this panty pattern was all over the place, I had the tape at a couple times stretched out to the side nearly level with the pattern!! (and feel free to be amused that the banana ad is right in the crotch, I was) It also isnвЂ™t EXACTLY like the pattern, so I need to do this again and again until I get it right. Which, I say is HUGE, but I honestly think itвЂ™s my ass thatвЂ™s huge and not the fault of the pattern. My taped up newspaper and my supplies, when I finally made the pattern, I moved my board and pattern more in the center of the newspaper. Not bragging or nothing, well, yes, I am, but boy, I trace good donвЂ™t I? IвЂ™m using the one marked вЂњ16вЂќ and if you look, the cross is outside of the pattern. IвЂ™ve always traced my patterns so this was no biggie. I donвЂ™t own a printer, so I traced this with vellum. But I refuse to use pattern trace until IвЂ™ve got this down. I may draft another pattern in a smaller size just to see the result. It looks really big, although I admit, IвЂ™m a really big girl. Finally, using my lucky orange Sharpie, I got the pattern to work. I did all this, got confused 4X and developed a migraine. Now, Lutterloh are done at 1/4вЂі scale, and the idea is, you use a special ruler and you connect the dots you make on your paper. I measure my hips (if you look up Lutterloh to see how it works, you will discover that it uses only the hip and bust to make the pattern) and stuck some newspaper together. So me being me, I picked of course the most unusual pattern in the book, panties. For such a thin booklet, itвЂ™s a pricey little beast. I recently spent a disgusting amount of money on #47 from 1952-3. Having said that, Lutterloh has been around since the 30вЂ™s so they have some great patterns. Because I know what people want, because itвЂ™s what I want in a vintage pattern. ThereвЂ™s a reason DGD has a nice rep as a carrier of great vintage patterns. And unique vintage patterns? Yeah, IвЂ™ll totally do vile things to get my hands on really good ones. So anyone who knows me knows, IвЂ™m a sucker for vintage patterns.
