No longer relegated to the underwear department, boxer shorts are everywhere. Teens wear them with T-shirts, men and women wear them for sleep shorts and athletes wear them for playing basketball.
Boxers are easy to make, requiring only one pattern piece, and no fitting.
If the boxers are for a man, choose a pattern with a fly front. Before you cut fabric for a boxer shorts pattern, compare the pattern with a pair you already own. Flat-pattern measure the width of the legs. You may want to cut a larger size than the pattern measurements indicate. Most people like a loose fit in boxers.
