If you follow my Twitter or Facebook page, you might have seen me mention a super big secret surprise project I’ve been working on, and I’m happy to announce (and you probably are too, because I’ll stop with the cryptic updates now) that It Has Arrived!

The new WhatTheCraft shop is now officially stocked with the very first WhatTheCraft Sewing Pattern!

The Cheeky Bikini is a low-rise, hipster cut underwear – cute, comfy, and quick to make! Plus, it doubles as a pattern for swim suit bottoms. For the price of a single pair of store-bought undies, you can have panties for eternity with this one pattern!

All WhatTheCraft Patterns are original patterns drafted by me. They are downloadable PDF patterns, so you can have it in your hands almost instantly. Each pattern contains a range of sizes from Extra Small to Extra Large – I’ve done all the hard work of grading the pattern for you! And best of all – you are welcome to sell items made from WhatTheCraft patterns!
