Free Pattern: Rosy Ladyshorts

Rosy Ladyshorts: Free Lingerie Pattern

Rosy Ladyshorts: Line Drawing

description

Frou-frou meets everyday in these easy-to-make lace boyshorts that sit at the hips. The legs and waist are finished with elastic lace trim for softness. Designed for a lightweight 4-way stretch lace with 60-70% stretch. You can also try stretch mesh or your favorite jersey. (Some tips on stretch fabrics are included!)

download the pdf

printing

I’ve included both instructions and pattern in the same pdf, which will print on both U.S. Letter and A4 paper. When printing, remember to turn off page scaling and print at 100%. (I recommend using Adobe Reader.) The pattern has a grid on each page that makes it easy to tape and line up the pages together. Don’t cut off the little gray sides of the pattern, because this gives you overlapping space.

Downloading troubles?
Sometimes browsers using pdf plugins will not display the entire document correctly. Internet Explorer is notorious for this. If you are having trouble viewing the pattern in IE, try downloading the pattern onto your harddrive by right-clicking on the link and “save as”. Then open it separately in Adobe Reader. ♥ Amy

    I just found your blog recently when someone linked to it in a comment on Sewaholic’s blog post about sewing panties. I just wanted to let you know that I made up not one, but TWO Rosy Ladyshorts tonight! All while my husband made dinner! It’s a great pattern!

    I posted a review at PatternReview here. http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&reviewnum=80693

    Hi! I was trying to look at the pattern, but from what I could see the PDF shows only one of 13 pages. I’m wondering if others are having a problem with the PDF as well…?

      Linda, what software are you using to open it?

  8. Linda February 27, 2013 at 10:17 pm #

    I can’t download the pattern

      Hi Linda, if you could give me some specifics, that would be awesome! I am at the mercy of my blog software on this. When you click the link, does it take you to a page? And what browser are you using?

    Hi Amy,

    I made my first pair of Rosy lady shorts and had no trouble putting them together and they fit well. Thank you!! I did find that they don’t cover much of my backside (I’m pretty flat back there and used a size 4). Not that that is a problem just different from the photo.

    Hi! I’ve found you via projects on the burdastyle site and I like your ladyshorts pattern! Thanks for sharing, I will download it to try it in the next time! I also find the tutorial on how to make them very helpful, especially the part about adding the elastics!

    Thank you! I detest the side seams that dig into my skin and so the one central seam per side is a perfect solution. Thanks for sharing this.
