This design for tidy and great-fitting Boys Underwear for modern doll characters look great under clothes and are fun to make. This pattern includes detailed instruction and accompanying pattern pieces to create a variety of Boxer Briefs and Standard Briefs. Using stretch knits -just like in real underwear- and elastic, create a super realistic pair of undies for your boy dolls that fit well enough to be worn under clothes. Best of all, scraps of knits, old t-shirts, and bits of elastic can make this a very economical project.
Pull on style, elastic waist, sewn flat for simplicity. Boxer style can have a hemmed leg opening or a banded hem. Pattern has options for lower waistline and leg length (inseam) variations. Shown with alternate decorative stitching on top of seams.
