I wanted to make a pair of boxers since I first started to sew, but I could not find a pattern I liked, and the idea of printing out one off the internet and taping all the pages together didn't appeal to me. But finally, I came across some instructions on the internet on how to draw your own pattern with your own measurements. I scratched my head a few times, but finally drew a pattern. Here is where I found the directions : wkdesigner.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/boxer-shorts
After drawing and cutting my own pattern, I decided to use my Kenmore in order to try it and its decorative stitches out. I used a soft blue cotton material and white thread.

Since this set of shorts turned out great, I am now going to make a pair for Joe with the same fabric, since I have enough left over.
Now time to take some measurements and start drawing another pattern.
