Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Panties continued in a slightly different way as to eliminate the hand sewing. I stitch the panty and lining edges edges and leave just the leg openings open for turning. I pink my panty let openings so they make a nice curve when turned. Trim off any extra threads and zipper end.
I have turned the panties right side out through the leg opening and open zipper. I pin and stitch the lining to the peaks of my panty pinked edges. Sew and trim the corners for the final turning and sewing.
I turn the panties right side out and press the bottom edge with my iron until I get it perfect. I then do my zig zag stitching from the crotch to the corners, increasing the size of my zig zag when I get to the thicker outer corners. I tie off and bury the thread ends with my easy thread hand needle.
Finished panty and no had sewing involved. Okay I did use a hand needle to bury the threads.my panties are slightly smaller as I traced the pattern off my iPad screen. Hope these pictures help.
The zipper in the second picture is kind of standing straight up since it is sewn between the panty and the black lining. The little tab for pulling the zipper is facing the snake skin panty side.

Oh my. If someone hadn't seen the previous post about the Big Girl Panty Purse, one would think you were trying to actually sew big girl panties with zippers. OUCH.
