Heart and Hearth Crafts

I love my Bunzies from Stitch Upon a Time, they are the comfiest underwear I have ever owned. So of course when my kids needed new underwear I bought them the Kid’s Scrundlewear sewing pattern. They’re really easy to sew too and best of all the fabric pieces are quite small so they can be sewn for leftover scraps of fabric that may otherwise go to waste.

Kewep on reading for full details on how you can make your own super comfy kids underwear.

Stitch Upon a Time Kids Scrundlewear Sewing Pattern

Knickers from Stitch Upon a Time are sooo comfortable!! Honestly once you’ve tried hand sewn knickers you won’t go back!

The Kid’s Scrundlewear sewing pattern is super quick and easy to sew up. There’s just two main pieces plus the liner which is a tiny little scrap of fabric. Then there’s the three bands unless you’re using the elastic bands option.

I’ve never actually tried the elastic band option. The stretch bands offer the most in terms of comfort and that’s my priority so I’ve only used that option. It seems that my Little Miss is in agreement with me, she now totally rejects and elastic in her knickers and I really can’t blame her.

I’m really pleased that the Kid’s Scrundlewear sewing pattern includes both boys and girls style underwear. My Little Dude can have a fly front if he wants. The pattern does include a trainer option but I’ve never really found them helpful and I’m delighted to say that my kid’s potty training days are far behind us!!

On this occasion I’ve made the girls style with my Little Miss in mind but life got in the way and she grew out of them sometime between me cutting out the pattern pieces and finding time to sew them up. So now my Little Dude is loving his new undies and he honestly doesn’t seem to care that they are more like a girls cut.

One of my favourite features of this pattern is how useful it is for using up leftover bits of fabric. The undies look fantastic in contrasting colours so it’s a perfect opportunity to get really creative with fabric scraps.

If you’re interested in the ladies version of these undies and more details on how to sew them please take a look at my other blog post Stitch Upon a Time Bunzies Sewing Project. I’ve included step by step pictures showing how I’ve sewn the pants – the kids version is stitched in the same way.

Digital Sewing Patterns

Digital sewing patterns are fantastic for kids clothes because you just print the size you want, no tracing or messing about trying to preserve the larger sizes of the pattern for using as your child grows.

They generally come with loads of different options and a wider size range than traditional paper sewing patterns. Most of the digital sewing patterns I own go all the way up to the teenage years.

For me one of the huge benefits of using digital sewing patterns over their paper counterparts is space. I can keep as many digital patterns as I like on a tiny hard drive taking up hardly any space in my sewing room. My traditional paper sewing patterns have to squeeze into a box on a shelf. I don’t feel guilty keeping that digital pattern that I’ll probably never find the time to use because it doesn’t take up any resources in my home. That paper dress pattern on the other hand – that has to justify the space it takes up.

Sewing Fabric

I’m stitching up this pair of Scrundlewear in cotton jersey with 5% lycra. The high cotton content makes them nice and comfortable next to sensitive skin and the lycra gives them loads of stretch and recovery so that they hug the buttocks perfectly.

I picked this fabric up on sale in my local fabric shop. Unfortunately it was their closing down sale. It still makes me sad to write that.

I have found another supplier who are also local to be me be only offer online sales these days. It’s such a shame to not be able to browse their warehouse anymore but at least they are still open and trading. Their prices are very reasonable and their range is incredible. If you click the banner above it will take you to the cotton lycra jersey section of their website where you can peruse their range of 11,000 different dresigns.

Sewing Thread

I use Coats Moon Thread for all of my sewing projects. It’s a fantastic all rounder great for machine sewing, hand sewing, quilting and top stitching. Best of all it’s fantastic value. I use it for literally everything!

I buy it in bulk and put the surplus in my Etsy shop. There’s loads of colours to choose from.

I recommend the grey shades. They don’t show up on most fabrics so you’ll have less need to change your thread between projects. It also saves you money because you can get grey threads in bigger bulk at a cheaper price.
