Sewing Instructions
- Place the BACK PANEL and FRONT PANEL of the panties right sides together. Place the inner FRONT PANEL onto the BACK PANEL, right side to wrong side. Stitch the pieces. Fold the inner FRONT PANEL to the front, turn under the SEAM ALLOWANCE, and sew with blind stitches.
- On the right side of the leg opening SEAM ALLOWANCES, attach elastic TRIM STRIP with a zigzag stitch, stretching it so that it extends 2 mm beyond the marking. Fold the SEAM ALLOWANCES to the wrong side and stitch again with a zigzag stitch, stretching the TRIM STRIP.
- Stitch the lace into a ring. Fold the LACE TRIM with the upper edge of the panties, wrong side to right side, so that the edge of the lace aligns with the SEAM ALLOWANCE marking, and the seam on the TRIM STRIP aligns with the center of the back half. Attach the lace.
