Men’s underwear boxers are a popular choice for many men due to their comfort and style. They provide ample coverage and support while also allowing for freedom of movement. If you’re interested in sewing your own men’s underwear boxers, here is a sample sewing pattern to get you started.
Materials needed:
– 1 yard of stretchy fabric (cotton jersey or spandex blend)
– 1 yard of elastic (1-inch wide)
– Sewing machine
– Scissors
– Pins
– Thread
– Ruler
– Iron
Instructions:
1. Begin by washing and drying your fabric to pre-shrink it before cutting out the pattern pieces.
2. Print out the pattern template provided below and cut out the pieces. The template consists of four pieces: front panel, back panel, waistband, and leg bands.
3. Lay out your fabric on a flat surface and place the pattern pieces on top. Pin the pattern pieces to the fabric and cut them out carefully.
4. Take the front panel and back panel pieces and place them right sides together. Pin along the curved edges and sew them together using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
5. Repeat the same process for the leg bands. Place the two leg band pieces right sides together and sew along the curved edge using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
6. Next, attach the leg bands to the bottom of the front and back panels. Pin the leg bands to the bottom edge of the panels, matching up the raw edges. Sew along the edge using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
7. Now, it’s time to attach the waistband. Fold the waistband piece in half lengthwise with the right sides facing out. Pin the raw edges of the waistband to the top edge of the front and back panels, matching up the side seams. Sew along the edge using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
8. Insert the elastic into the waistband. Measure your waist and cut the elastic to the desired length. Attach a safety pin to one end of the elastic and feed it through the waistband casing. Once the elastic is all the way through, overlap the ends by 1 inch and sew them together securely.
9. Finally, fold the waistband over to encase the elastic and topstitch along the edge to secure it in place.
10. Give your boxer shorts a final press with an iron to smooth out any wrinkles and your men’s underwear boxers are now complete!
This sewing pattern can be easily customized to fit your size and preferences. Feel free to experiment with different fabrics, colors, and prints to create a unique and personalized pair of boxer shorts. Happy sewing!
