You Will Need (3 things)

  • Old cotton t- Shirt
  • 2 in Wide Lingerie elastic
  • 2 in Hemming Tape

Steps (3 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Lay your t-shirt on a flat surface face up. Plan where to put your boxer pattern pieces so they will have as much of the colorful t-shirt graphics on them as possible. Cut out the pattern pieces.

  2. 2

    Sew the front crotch seams together with a narrow zig zag stitch or serger. Repeat for back crotch seam.

    With right sides together, sew side seams together. Turn right side out.

    Measure elastic to comfortably fit your waist. Overlap ends 1/2" and secure with zig zag stitches. Apply elastic to wasitband of boxers with zig zag stitches, overlapping the fabric and stretching slightly as you sew.

  3. 3

    Cut hem tape to length for each leg opening. Overlap lace on top of knit, stitch in place with narrow zig zag stitches. Secure ends.
