Embroidery with Geometric Shapes

Embroidered lingerie is becoming more popular these days. If you like embroidered undergarments, then this embroidery tutorial is for you. Using plain cotton briefs, you can embroider geometric shapes onto one side. In this tutorial, hearts, stars, and circles were embroidered in cotton briefs. Here is the tutorial for making these embroidered undergarments.

Materials:

Embroidery thread/floss

Embroidery hoop (optional)

Geometric shapes stencil (optional)

4 pairs of cotton briefs

Embroidery needle

Fabric Pen/Marker

First, wash and dry the cotton briefs. Second, use one geometric shape on one panty with a stencil or draw it by hand. Then, insert an embroidery thread into an embroidery needle. Next, insert the embroidery thread and needle onto the fabric. Follow the lines and make vertical lines with the thread. 

In this example, circles were traced onto the fabric. Then, a dark blue thread was inserted into an embroidery needle. After that, the needle was inserted into the black line that was made with the pen. Then, the needle was inserted in a vertical direction to hold the thread. Continue embroidering until the pen marks do not show. 

Using the same steps, the stars and hearts were embroidered onto each panty. Besides, embroidering geometric shapes, you can embroider the days of the week onto your underwear. Also, you can embroider your initials. By personalizing your undergarments, you will find it easier to sort and organize them in your dresser drawers.
