My DH has worn through his boxer shorts: I feel like he's a poor college student. Well, I should be happy that at least he's not a spend-thrift. So, I decided to make him some boxer shorts from the Jalie pattern 2326.
Honestly, it's hard to find manly fabric for a picky guy...
So, coupon in hand, I ran to Joann fabrics. In the quilting section I found a perfect print for my Accountant hubby.
Michael Kaufman's "Pleasures and Pastimes" print-

So, hubby is going to have money on his butt- not really coming out of it but a girl can wish;) I also ordered some far less expensive fabric from Fabric.com. His theme is going to be plaid. The pattern did suggest a knit as well so he's going to have one pair of knit to see if he likes them. (If he doesn't then it's no big deal other than the time it took to make them. ) I'm afraid they might ride up and cling to his pants. Honestly, why don't they make mens underwear more like a bra to keep the parts separated so there is less of the "male adjustment" necessary? Just a random thought.
What a great fabric! I can't wait to see how these turn out!
