Modeling My New Boxers!

Readers, the theme of this week (so far -- it's only Thursday) seems to be boxer shorts!

Yesterday morning I whipped up yet another pair, this time using a remnant of a panel print (purchased at Elliott Berman; I think the fabric is Hugo Boss) that I used to make a shirt with last fall.

With Deepika of Pattern Review at a PR Anniversary Party held at Elliott Berman Textiles.

This pair doesn't have bias trim, but rather is cut straight across the bottom with vents on the outside leg seams for ease of movement.  I wasn't sure I had enough fabric to get the full effect of the fabric design, but with a little careful piecing (and seaming), I managed to do it.





My purple and green print boxers (fabric from Mood Fabrics), worn with the matching shirt, looks a lot like a vintage cabana outfit.  Maybe I'll create one for our (late) summer beach vacation.



Finally, my Liberty boxers (made from remnants from Zack's shirt).  These feel super-luxurious and are so comfortable to wear.



I'd love to make even more boxers.  They're fun to put together and help use up leftover fabric -- so practical!

If you're interested in making boxers and aren't sure how, be sure to check out my Men's Boxers Sew-Along links in my archives.  I used them myself to refresh my memory!

In other news, Susan and I have chosen some fabrics for the projects I've been working on for her and I wanted to share them with you.  The lavender is a lovely cotton sateen and the floral is a Liberty poplin.  For a coordinating informal jacket, I'm thinking maybe gray linen or cotton seersucker (or even a pale blue chambray).  We'll see.



And that's it.  Anybody else sewing boxers this week? 

Have a great day, everybody!
