High Waist Bather Knickers

I finally bought myself a mannequin which I've been keen to invest in for a long time now. It has already been a big help in drafting a basic pattern for some high waist knickers and I can't wait to work on some more ideas I've got brewing.

I drafted the pattern up quickly and only needed to make a couple of minor adjustments. I was happy enough with the op-shop fabric I used from my stash for the practice piece that I decided it was good enough to become my new bather bums and with a quick hunt for some embellishments I found a pretty little doily I picked up from an op-shop  to sew onto the back.
