New Pattern: The Bingley Boxers

One of the most requested patterns I get is for a version of the Darcy Boxer Shorts but with the elastic covered not exposed. It’s actually a simple modification but plenty of people want a pattern they can just cut and make or they aren’t yet up to doing pattern modifications.

So here it is, The Bingley Boxer Shorts, a classic boxer short with workable button fly. Now available in the webstore for $2.50.

The Bingley Boxer Shorts is a digital PDF pattern, when you purchase you will receive a link to download a .zip file. Upon opening the zip file you will have access to the following

Download includes

  • sizes XXS  to XXL / 6 to 18 – Australian sizing, see size chart for more details
  • pattern includes seam allowance of 1cm/10mm
  • multi page PDF pattern suitable for Letter or A4 page size
  • Copy shop pattern – see file name for paper size required
  • Instruction booklet

Sewing Adventures – teaching and more knickers

I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend? Our weather has continued to be stunning so I managed to fit in a run and I got out on the bike too! Am so so glad I’m finally on the mend after being sick.

My weekend started off with a blast on Friday night with a Spoolettes meet up, we got to see the lovely Carmen’s drawing exhibition at Since I left you. They are stunning and I highly recommend getting there for a look. Meeting up with the sewing ladies is always a pleasure and I left feeling inspired to know such a talented group.

Saturday I did some sewing that wasn’t knickers! shock horror I know. I haven’t finished that one yet though so you will have to wait a bit longer to see the finished garment.

Sunday I taught a make your own knicker class at Sew Make Create and after some no shows and last minute cancellations ended up with a one on one class. Was actually pretty fun to teach just one person.

So as to not leave you completely bereft of new sewing here are some knickers I finished up last week.

and a 2nd pair of The Lizzie Knickers where I am testing out a new way of attaching the lace. It looks super cute but I’m not happy with the topstitching technique yet so I’ll keep working on that.

and a pair of The Darcy Boxers for a friend recovering from surgery and in much need of some cute shorts to wear. Don’t forget to pick up your FREE boxer short pattern, we’ve been seeing some fantastic versions of it being made up.
