I made my first pair of adult panties. I used the Ottobre 5-2009-2 "Simply Basic" panties pattern - sort of. I planned to make a straight size 48 and ended up mistracing the back and didn't realize it until I cut out the back piece. Then I could recut the fabric or retrace the pattern. Since I hadn't made a pair before and I really didn't have any idea of changes I would need, I decided to change the tracing to fit what I had cut and decide whether to make another pair with a correct back or adjust what I made based on how it came out.
The finished pair looks huge. It is 100% cotton knit that the quilting stores were trying to sell and has a decent amount of stretch, but side-by-side next to a purchased pair of panties it looks twice as big. I thought there was no way that it was going to fit, but they fit fantastically and I will definitely be making more.
I also traced the camisole top in the same issue and plan to make a matching top, but I haven't yet.
