I Made ENORMOUS Vintage Knickers from a 1940s Sewing Pattern

That's right, in this video I'm making the biggest pair of knickers you've ever seen!

Made from scrap fabric from a previous project and carrying on from my adventure making 1930s underwear last year, I tackle a vintage sewing pattern to make a set of Make Do And Mend style knickers.

Despite being HUGE, I am actually so pleased with how they turned out and if you're interested in vintage sewing I strongly recommend you make yourself a pair.
