My boy are quit thin and panties from store just don’t fit.  But to find a little boy belt? We have one with spiderman but a lot of strech..what? Pointless..So I ended up making one. Very simple. You need some heavy cotton-fabric and make a strip about 9 x 60 cm.  Fold it along the long side wrong sides together and sew with 0,5 seam along one short and the long side and turn inside out. Top-stitch and attach two D-rings in the other end and thaadaa a nice belt! This one fits my 2yearold waist(50 cm).

This I intend to make many times so today I made  a pattern. It was based on an old favorite t-skirt. This was completely washed out and uneven so I struggled to get straight lines. Love the fabric, is’s interlock from cheto. Now I’ve got myself a new favorite t-shirt!

Panties is something I’m missing, and the few I have are really exhausted, but I’m struggling to find a good fit. So I thought I’d  try a pattern I got on a course last year. And what a great fit it was. I sewed on thin elastic along the edge and edged with coverpro afterwards. It worked great! Often you want the edge to be tighter than the fabric. I did try the elastic gathering foot to my serger, but it dident work with so thin elastic. I need the elastic foot to my coverpro … (cover and overlock is sewingmachnines if you do not know) It turned out that this is the best panties I Have worn ever!
