We are SO EXCITED about our newest pattern release: the No Show Briefs! These briefs are perfect for those who don't want to deal with visible panty lines under leggings, tights, and thin skirts but aren't really thong wearers. This is also our first pattern released in our new expanded size chart:
The NSB pattern covers sizes C-M and is suitable for even the most beginner sewists! They are on sale for $5 until Friday, August 30, so don't wait! Grab them here!
FABRIC:
It is best made with any non-roll knit fabric like nylon spandex that is thin, light weight and does NOT ROLL along the edges when stretched. Check to make sure you have at least 75% 4-way stretch. The Mist Nylon spandex from the new Greenstyle fabric line is absolutely perfect for these! You can also use some pretty lace trim on the waist to make them a little more fancy.
FAST:
It only takes about 15-20 minutes to sew up and only about 1/2-5/8 of a yard of fabric depending on what size you sew.
FEATURES:
The No Show Brief pattern includes low, mid, and high rises cut lines along with a full tummy adjustment option on the pattern. The pattern also has an optional waistband and includes a regular brief and cheeky cut line so you can make them to your specific preference. Our fabulous team put them up to the most rigorous tests and it passed with flying colors! No shifting, bunching, and absolutely no show through!
These pictures speak for themselves. They're TOTALLY INVISIBLE under even the lightest and tightest of leggings!
