DIY ~ Men's Boxer Shorts

I decided to Make Tally some boxer shorts with some left over Beatles material I have.

I mean, I am trying to clean out and use all my supplies, so what better way to get rid of some fabric.

I made them much like the pajama pants I amde him before Christmas.

 

I used a pair of Tomas the Train boxers my Grandma gave him as a template!

 

First fold and place your fabric so the right sides are facing in.

Then place your template straight seams flat on the edge and trace it.

 

 

You need 4 pieces like this.

 

Sew your side seams together first so you now have two pieces.

Iron your seams flat.

 

 

Now pin and stitch the crotch area.

I like to sew it twice so it's double seamed and extra strong.

 

Now to your leg hole hems.

Lastly, iron your top waist down a half inch, then an inch and a 1/4.

Sew leaving a hole near the back to slip in your elastic.

 

Feed your elastic through the waist band using a safety pin to guide you.

 

Your done :)

 

Cheers,
