Amber Briefs - Sinclair Patterns

As part of the testing team, I had the chance to sew up the Amber Briefs, and let me tell you—they’re a dream project for anyone who loves comfort, versatility, and a bit of creativity with their fabric stash.

Comfort Meets Versatility

The Amber Briefs are designed with options to suit your personal style:

• Low rise for a sporty, casual vibe
• Mid rise for everyday wear (my personal favorite!)
• High rise for maximum coverage and cozy support

No matter which rise you choose, the fit is flattering and comfortable, making them a staple piece in any handmade wardrobe.

The Wide Gusset Advantage

One of the standout features is the wide gusset. Not only does it add extra comfort, but it’s also a clever way to use up fabric scraps. Think of it as a built-in scrap buster:

• Perfect for showcasing a fun print or panel
• Great for coordinating fabrics in a set
• Adds a unique, personalized touch to each pair

It’s a small design detail that makes a big difference both in wearability and creativity.

My Test Pair

For my test sew, I made:

• Mid rise
• Size 22
• Fabric: Cotton Lycra, 220gsm

The result? A pair of briefs that feel soft, supportive, and breathable. The cotton lycra has just the right amount of stretch and recovery, making them ideal for everyday wear.

Why You’ll Love Sewing These

• Beginner-friendly yet satisfying for experienced sewists
• Quick project with lots of customization options
• A practical way to use up scraps while making something you’ll actually wear

The Amber Briefs are more than just underwear—they’re a fun, creative project that blends practicality with style.
