FRUGAL FORCEFIELDS FOR MY FANNY (or look I made me some undies)

 

I think the title says it all but for those who need a story here it goes..
a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday I had actually scored shower time in the morning ...WHAT? what kind of crazy talk is that?!!! yes I know...with 27 kids
okay or 5 kids one takes the shower time one gets but I digress...anyway shower time means fresh everything..woot!! I didn't pay attention as I pulled out some clean undies , took shower and put them on only to realize...they were uber religious.  Yes HOLY UNDIES BATMAN!!
Not that I am one to normally worry about such things since there is only a select few who get to see them
you know who
the mailman
anyone who walks into my room after 11pm
the dogs
the neighbors on a couple of embarrassing occasions
a select few...
I had already been trolling the world wide web looking for a panty pattern (just too lazy to make my own) when I came across this
http://www.makebra.com/free-hipster-pattern/...totally free pattern SCORE!!! so that Saturday I decided to make undies.
Now I do keep a stash of t-shirts and what not around the house so I grabbed some basic items and started cutting and sewing.
and made these


 
 
OMG those are so cool but they look huge ...what gives?  well allow me to explain in a way that makes me feel better...store bought panties look tiny because they are made from a super stretchy material, I used old t shirts which aren't as stretchy so they are cute closer to fit.  I love my new panties, I have been wearing a new pair everyday (cause I made even more until I ran out of elastic), I have not had to pull anything out of my bottom for a week and I always say "It is a good day if nothing finds its way up my butt."
 
on a side note..you will notice that the thread for all of them is the same color and the white ones are dingy...well the white ones were the test pair and I really hate changing the thread and bobbin so same colors on everything.
