The Pattern is for a boxer short that can be made up including a working front fly (men’s version) or made with side splits and a decorative elastic top (women’s version). The instructions cover both versions and sizing goes from a size 6 / XXS to an 18 / XXL. Also included is our Designer Manual which shows you how to flex your designing skills and personalise the pattern to your style.

Pop on over to the Peppermint Sewing School to grab your patterns.

We will be showing off more versions and running a sewalong for them in the coming weeks too.

Problems with downloads

Hi Everyone,

Over the last few days we have had an issue with some orders not downloading correctly.

If you have had any problems at all, and not been able to access your order can you please let me know so I can send you an alternative link? We don’t want anyone missing out on having pretty knickers!

We’ve also fixed the problem so all new orders should be fine. Sorry for any problems caused and thank you so much to the customers who let me know so we could fix it.

Thanks,

Susan

Vintage Patterns For Sale

vintage patterns

My collection of vintage patterns is large, very large. From the 1940’s onwards I have a fantastic array of patterns covering all the styles of the era’s.

But they make me a little sad as there is no way I can use them all and I feel like they should be getting used. So I’m offering them up for sale!

This way I know they will be going off to good sewing homes and lots of lovely dresses, coats, blouses and all kinds of outfits will be made from them. This makes me far happier as I know the joy they will give to all the other sewers out there.

Now all the patterns are vintage, so yes they have been used and while every care has been taken with them some of them have crinkles in the packaging or a bit of a rip and most of the patterns have been pre cut out (some are still pristine and never been cut at all). I’ve tried to put the details into the descriptions so check them out.

The first batch are available here in the store and for the next fortnight if you use the code HAPPYsewing you will get an extra 10% discount. Be sure to check back often as I will be adding more styles to the sale and please help spread the word so as many sewers as possible can take advantage of these lovely patterns and offer them good homes.
