I'm seriously curious how these shorts, which were normally worn by boxers, suddenly became a popular underwear garment for guys. Is it that they all secretly imagine themselves to be a big strapping boxer? Regardless, I'm going to let them continue with their little secret identity, because I'm going to show everyone how you can create your own men's boxers, complete with the button fly.
Creating basic shorts are actually a very easy project and a perfect project for beginners. The elastic waistband helps make it customizable. If you're a little unsure about doing a buttonhole, you can skip that step if you want. The pattern created here is a large but it should fit most. You can always enlarge the pattern pieces if you want to make it bigger. And if you want to make the length of the shorts longer, you can just extend the inner leg and side seam lengths to whatever desired length you want. You can even extend them to the floor and make yourself some lounge around pants.
It’s so glad to hear that your boxers turned out great! 😀
awesome! when you do please post a pic of your boxers 🙂
I watched the video, which very clearly explained everything. I just downloaded the pattern and can’t wait to get started on this project.
You are seriously the best teacher. Your tutorials make me feel like I’ve been doing this for years (even though I’ve only been sewing since the beginning of December). My husband LOVES his new boxers. He said he was, “so amazed.” Thank you! :o)
I got it, I wasn’t signed in. Super excited to try this!! 🙂
I’m unable to find the pattern 🙁 Please help
I made these last year for my sons and they want a couple more. So I am at it again.
thanks for sharing
I had the same: it was because Windows was trying to unzip it to the last folder it unzipped to, which was on a removable disk which at that moment wasn’t connected. Copy the zip file to a folder on your hard disk and unzip it there, it should work.
The file that you download from the site is a .zip file, inside is the .pdf. Extract the pdf from the zip file and then try and open it. Im assuming you are attempting to open the ,zip file. The pdf opens just fine after extraction.
