It takes around 2700 litres of water to make just 1 cotton shirt, that’s not to mention the energy used in cutting, sewing and shipping it, so it’s nothing short of a crime to throw the whole shirt away when it gets a mark or worn collar. Make your own pants by re-using cotton from shirts, summer dresses or any other fabric! Pattern includes 2 sizes to fit between 8 and 16 and full instructions of how to make as well as a load of lingerie elastic to get you started. Get to work on the wardrobe and make knickers not landfill!!

don’t just take our word for it! “Just wanted to say how MUCH I am loving these. A proper wide gusset. Utter comfort yet stylish with the fabulous pleats in the front. I am now holding self back from buying gorgeous, frivolous ones too. I can feel resistance is futile.” Jenny, Yorkshire.
