Men Boxer Pattern | 29-49

I love the pattern although I haven't made them yet but I have several other MCDI Patterns so I'm confident they will be easy to sew and come out awesome!! 💜💜

The first pair came out pretty well but had too much room in the crotch. I solved this problem in the first pair, which was already sewn, by removing the elastic and cutting across the front (slightly curved) to be 1.5" lower at the very front. This worked well and I'm very pleased with the result. For my second pair I'm trying the alteration instructions for reducing the crotch length. Assuming that works well, I'm very happy to be able to make a bunch of comfy sleeping shorts since commercial jersey boxer shorts are hard to find these days (boxer briefs seem to be preferred). Maybe the crotch issue is because I'm shorter, but I also suspect it's because I'm not a man and don't want lots of room in the crotch. I realize that the pattern is sort of targeted toward me, but it's clearly used a lot for women as well. I might be useful to note more prominently alterations that are useful for women (assuming others have the same experience).

These are perfect! My husband want this style of boxers and this pattern delivered. He wants to wear them every day! Now to make more. This pattern is super simple anD easy to follow. I think it took me less than an hour total to cut and sew once I had to correct size pattern assembled.
