Ready to level up your sewing skills and your underwear drawer at the same time?
Join this full-day Panty Party “Master”* Workshop and learn how to stitch quality lingerie that fits your body and your style. In this immersive session, participants will sew three different styles of undergarments—cheeky cut, bikini, and boxer briefs—using stretch lace and knit fabrics.
We’ll cover everything from lace application and binding to sewing with stretch stitches and finishing techniques. To streamline the process, participants will be asked to submit their waist and hip measurements in advance. A pattern will be prepared for you to streamline the process in-class. This is an open and size-inclusive zone. Body-affirming vibes only. Whether you're sewing for yourself or someone you love, this is about joy, comfort, and creativity.
