Sewing a girl's pair of briefs: You've never sewn a beautiful pair of briefs for a girl this quickly and easily before, wanna bet? Now all you need to do is download the pattern and get started! :)
Yes! The instructions are designed so that beginners can sew great briefs right away. Different variations, e.g., waistband elastic or binding with jersey strips, are explained in detail and can be mixed and matched as desired.
What is special about the Terra Mini girl's briefs?
These briefs are a super comfortable basic that fits perfectly and moves with you!
They can be sewn in many variations: sometimes sporty, sometimes romantic, or even playful. In the instructions, I show you many sewing techniques with which you can reinterpret the pattern time and time again.
The briefs are sewn with an insert (also called a gusset). This is caught in the crotch seam and in the side seams. You can topstitch it to the front part if you like, but it is not absolutely necessary.
This is what the topstitched gusset looks like from the inside:
A gusset that is not topstitched looks like this:

Can you also sew the girl's briefs with a sewing machine?
Yes, absolutely, that is no problem at all!
You can, for example, sew the panties with a narrow and wide zigzag stitch. An overlock stitch on your sewing machine is also suitable for the side and crotch seams.
It is important that you use a new jersey* or stretch needle*. Then the seams will look really nice even with a sewing machine. Feel free to check out my sewing tips for jersey and stretchy fabrics!
Is there a matching top for the briefs?
Of course! You can already see a few sewing examples in the pictures. You can also get the pattern for the cute girl's top here on the blog.
Can I also sew the briefs with a coverstitch machine?
Of course! You can also sew the hems very nicely with a binder attachment and the coverstitch machine. This is especially recommended for children who do not like "scratchy" seams.
I even coverstitch the seam allowances of the elastic trim. That looks neat and makes for a very soft, elastic seam.
In the image below, you can see the binding of the leg openings with the binder attachment of the coverstitch machine. If you sew a lot of clothing, it is definitely worth considering purchasing one!
You can find instructions on how to use the binder attachment (including the unorthodox method for finishing with fold-over elastic!) here on SewSimple.
Sewing girl's briefs with an overlocker
With an overlocker, you can conjure up the new panties in no time at all! My tips on working with jersey and sewing with an overlocker will support you in this.
In what variations can you sew the girl's briefs?
In the instructions, I show you the following variations
- Briefs with jersey cuffs
- Briefs with jersey binding
- Briefs with waistband elastic
- Briefs with decorative elastic trim
- Elastic hem in the leg opening
Sewing girl's briefs with jersey cuffs
Nothing pinches here: finished with a soft jersey cuff, the waist and leg openings are nice and snug.
This is especially comfortable for children who like it casual and cozy. Incidentally, also great for diaper bottoms!
Girl's briefs with jersey binding
Cuffs with a twist! A simple jersey strip can make such a difference! High-contrast and a bit retro is what you get with fabrics in contrasting colors.
By the way, the flat binding is also great for camisoles!
Binding girl's briefs with ribbing fabric
Ribbing fabric gives the briefs good stability. The leg and waist openings finished with ribbing are nice and elastic and snug!
Sewing briefs with decorative elastic trim
As simple as it is brilliant: with an elastic finish, the panties always return to their shape. That the elastic trim with arched edges also looks beautiful is just a bonus, right? ?
From which fabrics can you sew the girl's briefs?
Fine, stretchy fabrics are very suitable, such as for example
Viscose jersey is soft and has a fine sheen. Just like lingerie fabrics made of microfiber, it is wonderful for underwear that does not bulk up.
Romanit is a firmer jersey fabric that is suitable for sporty underwear because it absorbs moisture well.
You also need these materials
- elastic lace*
- color-matched sewing thread*
- tailor's chalk*
- sewing machine and/or overlocker
- rotary cutter*
- fabric scissors*
- Needle & thread
- Bow* (lingerie bow)
How much fabric do I need for which size?
Which size is the right one?
Simply orient yourself to my body and finished measurement chart when determining the required size.
For example, take a pair of briefs made of a similar material that fits well and compare its measurements with the finished measurements of the camisole. Also pay attention to differences in elasticity.
Then, as a rule, nothing can go wrong.
How do you like the Terra Mini girl's briefs? Then get started and sew a few! Colorful underwear is also always very welcome as a gift.
