50 Panties Patterns to Get You Started Sewing Your Own Underwear
Year of the Panties?
Hi guys, it seems to be the year of the panties for me. I think I’ve reached a saturation point with the amount of bras in my wardrobe, so I will be taking a break from sewing bras for myself until I wear some of them out. I will still continue to make bra patterns that pique my interest, but those will be given away to friends and family.
For now, I’m focusing on my panties wardrobe. I don’t need a lot of variety–I’m mostly looking to sew up bikinis and maybe some hi-waisted panties.
However, if you are looking for more variety in your underwear wardrobe, I’ve got you covered! Below is a round up of 50 panties patterns in a variety of cuts and styles. I’ve broken them down into categories so you can easily locate the cut you’re looking for.
Previously, I did a round up of 5 Free Underwear Sewing Patterns on Maker Style’s blog as a guest post. If you are an absolute beginner and you find this list overwhelming, I would check that list out first.
Notes: Patterns that are free are indicated. Patterns are in U.S. Sizing unless otherwise noted.

Final Notes
If you are new at sewing panties, please start out with the free panties patterns! You don’t have to shell out a lot of money to give panties sewing a try. Find an old t-shirt that you’re willing to cut up and buy some panties elastic or foldover elastic and you are ready to go!
For others, I hope this is a helpful resource for quickly locating the style or cut of panties that you want to make.
I will leave you with some instagram hashtags to check out. Thanks for reading!
