THAT'S IT! What We’re Making! Children’s Undies by That*Darn*Kat. Becky made these cute Children’s Undies from That*Darn*Kat using thrifted fabric from a knit dress.
The Undies don’t use any binding elastic bands. Cotton/Lycra rib knit banding was used on the waist and leg bands which can be found at any big box craft/fabric store. The instructions in the downloadable pattern give great detail for sewing with or without a serger. The perfectly finished seams look like they came right off the shelf at a childrens’s boutique.
