    How does one go about making simple knickers? What does one make them from? Anyone?

    I want to eventually make my own bras. Matching knickers would be good :D

    I make knickers all the time.
    I use cotton lawn mostly, with cotton jersey gussets. Buy elastic on eBay.
    I can get size 12 knickers out of a fat quarter.
    I teach classes regularly, it's always fun.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I will sort you out the basic pattern instructions if I get a chance Tomorrow, I'm on my own at work so it will depend on how busy it is.
    I will send you a PM.
