Sometimes things happen that are just really awesome, and this is one of those things. Last week we told you the pattern was available and now here is a bit more of the back story on how it all came about.
When we released the patterns I got in touch with Peppermint magazine to see if they would be interested in featuring them? Not only were they interested they wanted a design they could offer as a free PDF download as part of their Sewing School.
Yes! how exciting to be able to share a pattern with everyone.
We decided to work on a unisex pattern. With a few changes it goes from a standard men’s boxer short to a pretty women’s boxer perfect for bed time. I made up some samples for a photoshoot and sent them up to the Peppermint magazine office.
Here is how it all looks in the magazine (image via Peppermint). How fabulous is this photo?
This entire issue is dedicated to all things sewing and has wonderful profiles on how different people use sewing every day and as a means of earning money. I urge everyone to pick up a copy as it is a fascinating and inspiring read.

Huge thank you to Peppermint magazine for not only producing such a fabulous magazine every issue but for also featuring our patterns.
