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.
Still having problems printing the pattern sadly . Also I take it I will have to adjust the pattern (that’s a scary thought) as my hips are 39 / 40 inches and waist is 34 inches? I’ve never made anything from a pattern, so it will certainly be an experience ♂️
@LewisAQBrown Yes the pattern should print fine on your printer, just make sure not to scale it. Also your 1.5 yards of fabric will work since about only 1 yard is needed.
Seeing I’m a newbie to all this sewing business, but thought I’d try making something for myself for a change instead of my wife!!! 8.5″x11″ paper size is not used in the UK or most of Europe. Our printers support A4 (8.27″x11.69″). Do you have the pattern for A4 printers or are we going to have to print on an A3 printer? Also for material, I take it 1.5m x 1.5m of 100% plain cotton should be fine? Many thanks
Love the pattern.. wish there were actual measurements
No Worries, thank you!
no written instructions, sorry. Just the video.
iS THERE WRITTEN DIRECTIONS, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO WATCH THE VIDEO?
Just curious if I could overlay this pattern on one for pj pants. I want to add a button fly to my husband’s pj pants and merging the two is the best way I can think of to do that. Any suggestions for something easier? Thanks!!
8.5 x 11 inch paper will fine for printing the pattern.
Please which paper size is right for printing this pattern without changing the patter size?
