Underneath it all

Have you ever opened your underwear drawer and closed it again feeling completely uninspired? Or browsed the rails in your local department store and felt despondent at the lack of underwear that catches your eye? If either of these scenarios feel familiar, we’d like to point you in the direction of me-made lingerie. Chances are your wardrobe is brimming with self-sewn dresses and tops, so why not add lingerie to the list of garments you’ve taken on with a needle and thread?

“Without well-fitting lingerie even the most stunning outerwear won’t look quite right,” points out Michelle of Lingerie Master Classes, who sells pre-cut lingerie sewing kits. “Lingerie is the most essential item for any sewing enthusiast to create a stylish and good-fitting wardrobe.”
