Euba Thong Sewing Pattern PDF

The Euba Thong is specially designed for larger bodies. The front offers good belly coverage and the back thong exposes just the right amount of cheek! We think this is the most comfy thong possible and it’s definitely a business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back situation!

We have found most thongs cut into the delicate areas and we have engineered this pattern to avoid such situations. The single layer gusset was chosen to keep the profile
as minimal as possible. View A features a foldover elastic finish and View B has a picot edge. You can sew this in bamboo/spandex with foldover elastic for practical and comfy everyday wear or in stretch lace or mesh with a picot edge for special occasions!

This pattern is suitable for sewing on a home sewing machine and doesn't require a serger/overlocker. The illustrated instructions give directions for sewing the undies using the zigzag stitch function on your machine! Alternatively, you can use serger/overlocker for the seams, but you will also need to use a zigzag stitch to apply the elastic and finish the gusset.

Sizes Available:

Sizes A-M (see size chart in images)

41.5-71.5" (105-182cm) Hip

Compare your Waist measurement to the Size chart above to select your base size. This pattern has negative ease, meaning the finished garment will be smaller than your body measurements. If your hip size is significantly smaller than your waist size, you can blend between sizes. We don’t recommend blending more than 1-2 sizes so you can pull your briefs on.

As with any garment, we recommend making a toile/muslin out of inexpensive material before cutting into your fashion fabric. This is especially important for undies because everyone’s body and undies preferences are different!

If our sizes are too small to include you, we will grade our patterns up for you. Please get in touch with us here.

Suggested Fabric:

This pattern is designed to be sewn with knit fabrics, with at least 70% stretch both vertically and horizontally (4-way stretch). We suggest cotton/spandex jersey, bamboo/spandex jersey, merino/spandex jersey, tencel/modal/spandex jersey. 4-way stretch dance mesh and lace will work well as long as there is plenty of stretch. If your fabric has more stretch one way vs the other, then place the direction of most stretch so it goes across the
body.

The Euba Thong works great under all our Pants and dresses and makes the perfect matching set with our Banksia Bralette. If you're concerned with a VPL under tighter fitting garments like our Loxton Leggings, Whitlam Skirt or Alistra Dress, the Euba will be perfect for helping to minimise visibility.
