Sew your own skimpy G-string thong with a low-rise fit and stretch binding waistband—perfect for raves, festivals, exotic dancewear, or matching sets with your favorite tri-top. This digital PDF sewing pattern shows you how to use one continuous stretch binding strip to finish the edges and build the waistband, with updated, beginner-friendly instructions and clear measurements for each size.
The G-string thong sits lower on the hips for that classic low-rise look. You can follow the suggested back strap and waistband binding lengths, or customize the fit if you prefer a little more coverage. An assembly video is included so you can sew along at your own pace.

Pattern Assembly
- Attach the optional lining to the top of the thong front.
- Hem the lower edge of the thong front and lining.
- Pin the stretch binding strip to the bottom back point of the thong, leaving a small amount of overhang to trim later. Then pin the binding along the top front left side.
- Stay-stitch the binding to the thong where you pinned it.
- Fold in the back point and trim off the extra binding from Step 3.
- Pin the next binding section across the center front waistband area.
- Pin the remaining binding along the top front right side.
- Stay-stitch this section; it will overlap with the earlier binding you attached.
- Begin finishing the binding at the trimmed back point. Wrap the binding around the edge of the fabric and sew to secure.
- Continue wrapping and stitching the binding all the way around the thong: through the hemmed front, across the waistband area, around the other side, and over the overlapped section.
- Choose your preferred G-string back strap length based on the rise and fit you like.
- Attach the back strap at the center back of the waistband binding, leaving a small amount to fold over.
- Fold over the end of the strap and straight stitch it down.
You can also make the back strap adjustable if you prefer.
