In the Knickers of Time

The Bite:
imageDown to your last pair of undies? You could run and do laundry...or you could make a new pair at Make Workshop, home to DIY everything - shoes, jewelry, even knickers. MW's beginner class, Lingerie Making: Panty Workshop, gives ya the supplies and sewing machine...you just cut the fabric to size (patterns provided), then add elastic, lining, and cheeky embellishments like lace. In a couple hours, you'll walk out with a custom, clean pair of underthingies and the know-how to make more, so you can skip buying a pair or two that's been manufactured and shipped from, say, China. Plus, it's fun - and just the thing for under the Naughty Secretary Skirt you'll make in the Feb. 28 class. Sign up...time's a-tickin'.
Wanna Try: 
Make Workshop, Feb. 6, 6:30-9 pm; 195 Chrystie St. #402F. Map It (212-533-9995). Sign up online. Lingerie Making: Panty Workshop, $120, supplies included.

Cocktail Fact

In MN, it's against the law to hang men's and women's undies next to each other on a clothing line.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters whip up their own knickers instead of buying a pair from a national retailer, it'll have the same CO2-reducing effect as planting 285 trees.
