I decided to embrace my inner cat lady and intense need for organisation by giving my underwear a Cat Of The Week makeover. It might sound a little loopy but it gives me something to smile at when folding laundry and makes packing for a trip away a breeze.

Instructions

  1. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115349 img 3509

    Lay your underwear, front down on a flat surface.

  2. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115435 img 3510

    Fold the left hand side into the middle by a third.

  3. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115439 img 3511

    Then fold the right hand side into the middle by a third.

  4. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115445 img 3512

    Now fold the bottom edge up by a third.

  5. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115555 img 3513

    Fold the bottom up by another third until you have a neat little rectangle.

  6. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115618 img 3515

    Flip over so the front is facing forward and mark a line along the middle with a chalk pen.

  7. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115717 img 3533

    Unfold the underwear and fold in half vertically, marking the very middle point with an cross.

  8. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115753 img 6260

    Fold your underwear inside out and cut a rectangle of stabiliser.

  9. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115818 img 6261

    Iron the stabiliser onto the back of your underwear and the fold inside out again.

  10. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115856 img 3516

    Line up your underwear in your embroidery hoop. You can either machine or hand embroidery your underwear, or if you're no good at sewing, skip out the embroidery all together and print the day on transfer paper.

  11. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 115929 img 3532

    Embroider with the day of the week, or if you want to be punny, come up with a fun pun. For my Cat Of The Week pants, I went with: Meowday Tunaday Whiskerday Purrsday Furiday Caturday Sunlazeday

  12. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 120044 img 6256

    Find some cute cat images and print onto transfer paper.

  13. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 120139 img 6258

    Cut out the cats, position on your underwear and iron on.

  14. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 155628 img 6463

    Repeat for the rest of your set.

  15. Small 108210 2f2015 04 30 120205 img 6259

    Refold into a neat rectangle and you're all done.

    Feel super organized and calm as you look down on your super neat cat-lady approved underwear drawer!
