The Kapunda Undies [pronounced like Cap-unde (as in undah-niable)] are super high-rise undies designed specifically to fit large bodies.
They feature a fully enclosed gusset, full coverage, and an easy and comfortable elastic application. View B has a side panel and is perfect for colour-blocking or scrap-busting and View C features an elastic lace finish.
This pattern is suitable for sewing on a home sewing machine and doesn't require a serger/overlocker. The illustrated instructions give directions for sewing the undies using the zigzag stitch function on your machine! Alternatively, you can use serger/overlocker for the seams, but you will also need to use a zigzag stitch to apply the elastic and finish the gusset.
Elastic Application: We have you apply the elastic 'straight off the roll', so you don't cut the elastic for your waistband and leg holes prior to sewing it on. Check out the sew-along video here.
We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Kapunda region, the Ngadjuri people, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
