tubeway panties

i like etsy's current featured seller's shop, but out of all the times i've browsed her shop i haven't seen any undies for those us with some junk in our trunk. so i grabbed the nearest somewhat stretchy fabric i could find and made my own. humorously, that slightly stretchy fabric i grabbed was an old gary numan t-shirt. it had paint stains and some tiny holes so i had recently donated it to my scrap stack.
i did a bit of a sloppy job with the stitching- i was SO excited at the thought of gary numan panties. i just dissected a pair of well fitting underwear and copied that shape with room for a seam allowance where needed. i was too lazy to hem the waist (plus it was lower than i wanted) and leg holes so i added some other goodies that were within ams reach. the waistband is from a funny 70's (adult) polyester jumper.
and victory, they fit!

i would still like to buy a pair from that shop, but until my butt shrinks, i guess gary's got me covered.
