said... Thanks for reviewing this pattern Carol. Now I am convinced that this pattern will work for me. I have never made boxers before though. The pattern calls for woven fabrics. Will this work for knits? 4/16/02 4:39 PM
said... Deepika I don't see any reason why this pattern would not work well for knits. 4/16/02 4:42 PM
said... I will definitely try these. 4/16/02 5:05 PM
said... I've made several of these for my hubby; he uses them as pajamas. He wears a 36 in pants; the large size fits him pretty well. He much prefers the longer-leg version (view a). I've made them in flannel-backed satin and, just to see the expression on his face, leopard-print silk/lycra charmeuse. Carol is right; this is very easy. One hint I have is to stitch Thread fuse along the wrong side of the top edge before pressing it under; this holds that edge down better while you're sewing the elastic. 5/6/02 7:57 PM
