Tres Secret Thong PDF Sewing Pattern
Tres Secret Thong: An easy to sew, wear, and customize mid-rise thong.
I love making these, and you will too. Not feeling it? Trying playing the thong song. OK, that was fun. I hope it helped. 😀
The pink pair was made with FOE (fold over elastic) but you can also use picot or flat lace elastic. The hip ruffle is optional but oh so cute!
It's cheaper to join my club!
This pattern is included in my Sewing Club Pattern library. You can buy it here, or you can get it for less by joining my club for just $10/month. You will also get the other two tres secret panty patterns for the 10$ but only in the sewing club. That's like 2 panty patterns for free!
Pattern sizing
This pattern comes in sizes XS-6X and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that below.
Printing the pattern
When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.
Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.
This file is also a layered PDF so you can print just your size or print just a few sizes. You do not need to print all of the sizes.
You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.

Materials Required
Self fabric: You want something stretchy to fit nicely, and probably something breathable.
I recommend stretch lace or a mostly natural knit with a good stretch. For sizes XS-XL, this requires 1/2 yard. For sizes 2X-6X, you'll need 3/4 of a yard.
Elastic: Picot, fold-over, or 1" flat-lace elastic all work well. You'll need 3 yards.
Gusset lining fabric: I recommend cotton jersey - a stretchy, absorbent knit that breaths.
1/4 yard is enough for at least 9 gussets.
Seam allowance:Â 1/4 inch
