A Pair of Boxers and a Give-Away

You decide.  Which one of these boxers is the cutest?  I'm going to give one of the pair away.  If you choose the dog, then you will have to wrestle her away from my granddaughter, Lula.  She will cry.  So, maybe you would rather have the men's boxers made from Liberty of London fabric.  I snagged them from Target recently. Remember this post?






My boxers were made from fabric with cute little cars.  I thought you might like to see how I cut up the underpants to make myself a couple of fat quarters of fabric (at least)  to add to my stash.

First thing to do is cut off the waist band. 
Maybe you can think of something to make out of it. I thought of a belt....add a D-ring perhaps. Let me know if you come up with something cute.

I used scissors to cut along the seams to dismantle the boxers.  That seemed quicker than using a rotary cutter.

Using  a seam ripper to remove the hem will only take about 6 minutes and will give you several more inches of fabric. Press the hem out once you "frog stitch"  (rippit, rippit....get it?)

A pair of boxers in shreds..........................

........can produce quite a bit of fabric!

Fold it up real pretty and tie the package with one of  the seams.  No one will ever know what "shop" you purchased your new fabric from!

Liberty of London..........ready for my next project!







                                           Wanna win a Pair of Boxers for yourself?
This is my tenth post so I want to celebrate by sending these cuties to one of you!  I've been on an aqua and green kick also recently, so if you are the winner,  I will also include a "custom charm  pack" of 20 different aquas and greens from my stash.  Who can resist free fabric?
