Sew cool boxer shorts yourself
When the first rays of sunshine show up after the long winter, the streets will be colorful again in terms of clothing. From gaudy retro sneakers to colorful boxer shorts that like to peek out of jeans - a lot of color comes into play with men in particular. But why buy boxer shorts for a lot of money when you can sew them yourself?
What you need:
- cool textile in a trendy design
- sewing machine
- Accessories as required (buttons, iron-on transfers, etc.)
- Elastic band
- Textile pen
Step by step to cool boxer shorts
- First, choose a cool fabric that will later become your boxer shorts. It doesn't matter what material you use. A towel can also be fashionably spiced up later.
- Now fold the fabric twice, i.e. fold it once. The crease should be on your right.
- Draw a trouser leg with a textile pen or washable felt pen (parallel to the folded edge). Draw a little longer than the desired length of the trousers, because a few centimeters of the fabric must also be sewn.
- Take a plate or something similar and place it at the end of the drawn pant leg line. Draw a kind of semicircle into the trouser leg up to the folded edge, which will later become the step of the cool boxer shorts.
- Cut out your sewing pattern, unfold it, and use it as a template for the other Trouser leg by placing it on the fabric, drawing around it and the other leg too cut out.
- Before you sew the cool boxer shorts yourself, the fabric sides must be attached with pins. Then the sewing machine is used.
- So that the trouser legs and waistband do not fray, they should be turned over beforehand and fastened with pins. Only then can you start sewing.
- Every cool boxer short has a rubber band, because after all, it shouldn't slip off immediately. Place an elastic rubber band on the waistband of the shorts, pull the fabric over it and fasten everything securely before going to the sewing machine.
