Birch came out a month ago but I’m just now getting around to posting some photos from the wonderful people who tested out the pattern for me before it was released.
If you are curious about becoming a tester, I usually put out a call in my Sewing Group on Facebook. The testing process is fairly simple. I give a list of questions that I’d like answered about the pattern… basic stuff like, “Can you put the pattern together? Were you able to follow the instructions? Did I inadvertently write a swear word anywhere?” I understand that sewing underwear is a little “intimate,” so sharing your photos with the world is totally up to you! But I know I like to show off my makes.
The Birch variation with the elastic around the waist and legs has become my go-to basic underwear pattern. I’ve literally got a few cut out, ready to be stitched up right here beside me. I’ve been living in high waist mom jeans and leggings + long skirt combos, and they feel really comfortable underneath. They just skim all the right places!
I won’t take up too much of your time. Let’s see what my friends sewed! I honestly am always so blown away by people’s creativity and skill. Thank you so much to everyone who donates their time and efforts to help me out with my patterns.
