A Preview Reel of My First Sewing Pattern

I’m very close to my first sewing pattern release – I’ve been sitting on this secret for a little while now, and I am so ready to finally talk about it.

Something New Is Coming — And I Can’t Wait to Share It

My very first sewing pattern is almost here.

Introducing the Basic Briefster — a women’s underwear pattern designed to be straightforward, well-fitting, and genuinely size-inclusive. We’re talking XS through 5X, with a hip size range of 34 to 54 inches. Because everyone deserves a go-to underwear pattern that actually fits.

A Little Sneak Peek

Before the full release, I wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes look at what the pattern is like to work with. In the reel below, you’ll see me assembling the tiled version of the pattern — that satisfying (and even meditative?) process of printing, trimming, and taping it all together.

If you’ve never worked with a tiled PDF pattern before, don’t worry — the process is more approachable than it looks, and I think seeing it in action will give you a good feel for what’s involved before the pattern drops.

Why Underwear?

Honestly? Because good-fitting underwear is one of those things that makes a huge difference in everyday comfort, and yet it can be surprisingly hard to find — especially across a wide range of sizes. When I set out to design my first pattern, I wanted it to be something genuinely useful. Something you’d come back to again and again.

The Basic Briefster is designed to be just that — a reliable, comfortable foundation piece that you’ll actually want to sew more than once.

What’s Next

The pattern will be available in the near future, and I’ll be sharing all the details — sizing, materials, construction notes, and where to find it — right here when it’s ready.

In the meantime, I’d love to know: are you a tiled pattern person, or do you prefer A0/copyshop printing? Drop a comment below and let me know — it always helps to hear how you work!

Stay tuned. This one’s been a long time coming. 🧵
