Mikah was down to 2 pairs of boxers that fit. I could never wash both of them at the same time, because he’d be wearing one pair. Which made it really tricky to always have a pair clean for him daily.
I began this morning by making him 5 pairs of boxers. I had already drafted the pattern last summer, and I lenthened it a bit, but it really didn’t need other changes.
The blue pairs are from a thrift store flannel sheet and the black pair is from black t-shirt knit. The Star Wars boxers are his favorite. He found that remnant one day in JoAnn’s and asked me to make him some boxers out of it.
My Little Jedi would go nuts over those Star Wars boxers! Nice job!
With friendship,

Lisa, I wish I could share! Isn’t it funny about little boys and Star Wars and how they go nuts? I think it is really, really cute! Love, Wardeh
I just love coming to your site and seeing what your working on next. You just always seem to be busy. And I just love what you can do with a sheet.

Oh, you’re sweet, Donna! But apparently I’m not busy enough or I wouldn’t have time to write about it!
Today feels like a slow day. I did those boxers this morning and I’ve been puttering on other things the rest of the day. I’m glad it is Friday. We all look forward to a good rest after the week. Have a wonderful weekend! Love, Wardeh
What cool boxers! I hadn’t even thought of making them for my boys. Where did you find the pattern? When you say drafted, did you make it up by yourself?
I cannot wait to read more of your blog; but, it’s Friday night Date Night! Gotta get ready!
God bless!

Hi, Laura! The way I drafted this pattern was by taking a pair of boxers that fit Mikah pretty well and copying them. That involved laying them out on paper and tracing the crotch curve and the leg shape. Then I changed them to be a little baggier and a little longer. I also eliminated the fly. There are commercial boxer patterns. You could get one for $1.99 on sale at JoAnn’s if you watch their sales.
Hope you had a good Date Night!
Love, Wardeh
Can you make some for my hubby? Just kidding……sort of, lol.
Have a great weekend!
