I’m 65, recently retired, and always wanted to learn how to sew my own boxes. I bought myself a very good machine a year ago and took some lessons. Now I’m learning via UA-cam videos. I watched several videos on making boxer shorts. However, YOUR video is BY FAR the best one I’ve seen. Period! No need to watch any more. I’ve taken an old pair apart, bought great fabric: dark navy-blue cotton with small white polkadots, and my pinking shears and elastic band are ready. Here I go!!! Thank you!!!!!
Wow, that makes me super happy to hear! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
I hope you find me on Instagram at @TheMarkMontano
Awesome. I am going to make my husband some boxers now. I love how you just used an old pair of boxers instead of buying a pattern for this project. Love it.
“How many of you want to see my underwear? I could not stop laughing after hearing you say that, you always seemed to put a smile on my face, thanks for sharing yet another wonderful DIY tutorial with us all.
Awesome, I will make one for my husband and one for me, because boxer shorts are super comfy, I love them!
Perfect!
Mark, I love your tutorial! Thank you sooo much for using cool music and written instructions instead of chit chatting through the entire video the way too many sewing tutorials do...because yes, we can read!! I'm subscribing and will be using this to make some comfy lounging shorts for myself. Thanks again!! :D
Nice
Not a big chatter! Glad you like the project!
Glad you like the project!
This is a fun video and the music helps. Easy straight forward directions and complete steps shown. Thank you for the tut.
Glad you could follow along. Sewing tutorials can be boring AND they are super hard to edit. Whew!
I think they would be super comfortable made out of t-shirts. Now I want some. :)
Great! I love to sew and especially i love to do it for others. Now i took an old bedcover from my boyfriend which is too valuable to throw away (so soft and nice color) and I can't wait to do a lots of boxer shorts for him :D.
He will love them. I sleep in mine every night.
SOMEDAY! I'm already the perfect wife! I can sew, cook, decorate and craft my butt off!
How much meter cloth was consumed in 1 short?
This tutorial gave me a new understanding of life.
You're funny!
:D
Thank you soooo much for the idea! My husband was kind of sad because I am leaning to sew but I just had ideas for my wardrobe!! I WILL startdesigning this for him and HE will love them! Thanks Mark you are AWESOME!!!
vickadri let me know how that goes for you! I just started sewing too and I'm super excited. I hope your hubby enjoys it!
I still make my own!
I made one for myself! 😊 The elastic part was a bit tricky since I'm new to sewing. I thought the needle was going to break with all that stretching. But yes, totally fun to make! Thanks for sharing, Mark ♡
You'll get used to the stretching over time. It takes some practice. You might want to use a larger needle if you're afraid of breakage. I'm so bummed when I break a needle!
If you can find a way to make the pattern by measuring and stretching, then yes, that would work. I used an old pair that was ready for the rag bin.
This was my 2nd make as a new sewer 😉 my son asked for some but wanted them in the Ankara fabric and that's what he got lol xx
Wow foxxy, you're a terrific mom! I'm sure he was thrilled.
The basic SINGER machines are pretty affordable AND they work well. You can get one for a little over 100 dollars. Not bad considering how much you can save just sewing something for your home or fixing clothes, right?
I love that you spend a little time ironing your fabric. A lot of youtube-sewers don't iron and it annoyes me a lot, because a good sewingjob depends on well ironed fabrics. It doesn't take long to do it and if you teach other to DIY, you should always do it the proper way, so thumbs up! 👍
It's all about the ironing!
just used this as my first sewing project! thanks!
Henry, glad this worked out for you. Saves tons of money AND you can pick your fabrics.
Saves a ton of money. Plus you can pick the fabrics you want.
Your welcome,
I only come back watching your VDO again...
I only have new sewing machine and first time at I sew... Your VDO will can help me sew good!
Thank you again
I still make my own!
I figure since I sleep in them and no one can see them when I'm wearing them, that I can use whatever fabric I want! :)
Wow... mad talent right there, and you made it look easier than easy! I spend a fortune on boxers for my husband, and now (thanks to you) I can instead throw a pair together like a pro all on my own for pittance. Thank you Mark! xx
I still make my own! Glad you like the project!
Mark! Thank you so much for this very simple step by step tutorial. Yours was the easiest and so straight forward. My first sewing machine project and it went well. My husband really liked the boxers I made for him! Keep up the good tutorials!
So happy to hear it!
Hey, I made these boxers for my husband. It was so easy with your directions. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
OMG i am so going to try this tomorrow with some Alabama fabric. these will make good gifts, I love the presentation
I still make my own! You can totally do this!
You are the best among all tutorials videos regarding boxers cutting and sewing
I appreciate that very much!
Nice to see a guy sewing and a superb job I love your pink stripes was hoping to see you wearing them
Only my other half gets to see me in these! :)
the was cool I'm going to try for my son and my hubby. Thank you for the video.
+Devin Williams You got it Devin! Happy holidays! Make sure to subscribe to my blog. There are always TONS of projects on there, too. www.MarkMontanoBlogs.blogspot.com
I would love to try this in a jersey for the ultimate in sleep comfort.
YES! They would rock!
Mark- I apparently am a pattern reading idiot! I struggled for two hours to figure out how to read this silly boxer shorts pattern. Then I watched your video and figured it out immediately!!! Thanks so much:)
Always great to hear Emilene!
I think this is a great gift for my sisters n girlfriends!! Thanks Mark
Use a zig zag stitch both times. This way you'll have more stretch.
Love the music and the tutorial!!, this is perfect.
This is an oldie and I still love making my own boxers
You read my "MIND MARK"!😃👌🏽👍🏼👍🏼THAT'S "EXACTLY" WHAT I WAS PLANNING TO DO 🤔TO CUT ONE OF MY HUSBANDS OLDER PAIR OF BOXERS TO USE FOR MY PATTERN!.🤔🧐👌🏽👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome! It's so easy and you can use old shirts for the fabric, too! *find me on Instagram if you're there, too. I'm @TheMarkMontano Would love to see you!
Absolutely! You can have him pick out the fabrics, too. Maybe use a printed fabric with his college colors or emblem?
lol I love how you go straight to the point, and your intro at the beginning was everything, im suscribing now
Glad to hear it!
You are simply Amaxing..Love your tutorial..God Bess your kind soul for sharing.
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much. My textiles class was making boxers
DE MAN OMG SAME
Same
I still make my own!
I've sewn shorts before for myself, your way of making a pattern and putting them together is a bit different, but looks intriguing. But then there's lots of different ways to sew shorts/pants. Thanks for the great video. Planning to make some for my boyfriend, but will definitely not get pink fabric 🤣
Everyone has their color of choice!
yes you can!
I will definitely be giving this a try! Thanks Mark for figuring out how to do this AND for letting us all know!!!
Yay! This is great! I was looking everywhere on how to make my own pattern in my bf's size! Why didn't I think of this sooner!? Thanks so much, Mark!
Such a life saver and so easy, too. I make about 10 pairs at a time. Plus I use fabric that I like like 100% soft cotton.
Fabulous tutorial!
Thanks so much!
Thanks. Need to make these for Christmas gifts for my grandkids.
A terrific personalized gift for sure!
MARC GREAT job you such a great teacher awesome of you sharing your crafts 😊 much appreciated will try this out ...👍
I still wear these Carmalita! My faves!
thanks a ton, man!
i've been trying to get my head around making my own stuff but was never quite good at understaning what goes where when sewing
you're a saviour!!!
Just take your time and follow along Sancho. You'll do it!
Mark, You make this look so easy. If only my sewing machine went as fast as yours on the video, I could whip out projects in moments. :)
IT is easy!
I really love your tutorials, especially the sewing ones because sewing can be daunting. Yours are very fun and easy to understand. I don't know who edits your videos but they do a perfect job. Totally dig your music choices too!
Very nice of you to say Kimcheegirlee. I've been working very hard on my editing skills.
***** You really are into DYI! :)
Hi Mark, Never a boring moment with YOU! lol Enjoy all of the tutorials I have seen. You are most Fabulous!!! Muuahh
You are very kind Brenda! Big hugs!
I think it's easier to just fold top hem and pass the elastic through. Well, at least for me, a beginner 😂 Thanks for the tutorial🌹
Also a great idea Crissy! I'm such a toss & turn sleeper, the elastic always gets twisted when I put elastic in a tunnel so I like stitching it down. Happy Sunday and I hope you'll join me on Instagram! instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/
Great job and I love the fabric. .kisses
Rani Moore Thank you Rani! kisses right back! Just a reminder to press the little gear next to the subscribe button on my channel and click GET UPDATES. This way you'll know when I post a new video. Thanks!
Thanks a bunch Mark. I have a ton of cotton fabric. I'm going on vacation soon and I plan to roll out 1 pair for each night to sleep in. A Big Thanks to You.
I love making my own boxers. Saves a ton of money and I don't care if they're perfect or not.
Super easy and affordable project Mystery! Saves a ton of cash, too!
I AM AMAZED!!
Wow! Thanks so much!
I'll work on that.
Very clever idea. Thank you for this video.
I make 10 pairs at a time and it saves me a lot of money.....Plus I like to choose my own fabrics. Also a reminder to check out my 1/2 PBS show here: ua-cam.com/channels/-7-0iFkKLZfSy6hKEoIpJg.html
wow thank you. my boxers just ripped and i don't see why i should pay so much money for a pair of them. I've got a new sewing project for tomorrow. Thank you! No BS, very straight forward!
Glad to hear it Hans!
Thanks,for sharing this very "Easy Peasy" boxer tutorial!("Pretty in pink"!😂😂
You are so welcome!
I haven't tried knit yet! Now you've inspired me!
Yup you did!
Definitely giving this a shot!
Hi Mark! I'm just learning to sew and instead of just sewing things that I would love for myself, I also wanted to learn something simple that would be useful to my husband! Just found your channel by UA-cam searching for "how to sew simple boxer shorts". I am a new subscriber and can't wait to watch more videos. Thanks for this great tutorial!
Hey there Rose! These are pretty easy and even though they don't have a fly, they're just fine. I never use the fly front and mostly I just sleep in these. Super comfy too, if you pick the right cottons.
Hi Julie, if you have a pair of shorts, you can use that as a loose pattern and create your own. You won't have to take them apart, just lay them flat and create a pattern on paper.
My husband is a BIG guy. When his boxers hit $28 a few years ago I did this. BTW I love your dress form.
Great way to save $
This was very helpful to me, a new sewer. Thank you for taking the time to put it together with such detail both with video and words. Happy sewing!
So happy you're inspired!
Ew
Lol! You certainly know how to make crafting fun!
I do my best!
Love the boxer shorts. This is an awesome way to make them. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!
LOVE THEM !
Of course they can!
Great video, great music, great colors, it's a great video
I always make my own boxers now. So much easier to get the patterns and comfortable fabrics that I like.
This made me smile and wanna cry. Seen I made my kids shorts ,jeans, shirts and etc.etc. There was one pattern for the oldestbkid and the two little brat heads one pattern for them. After awhile I could cut them out without a pattern and sew them on my trusty singer sewing machine. Not the peddle one the electric one.
Judy Obrien Awesome! It saves tons of money and I always make mine a little longer.
Love your boxers!!!!! you are the BEST!!!!! Thanks for your inspiration!!!!
Thank you!
I wear boxers and I've never used the access flap....but if you add an extra 1 1/2" on both in the cente fronts of the boxer pattern down to the curve, you can add the flap pretty easily. I hope that helps.
I have three Grandsons I'm going to give it ago. Hopefully they won't be like Grandma!!!! You know they always want games and stuff, which they'll get anyway. Thanks Mark you make every thing look so easy I always look forward to your videos.
This was worth it, just for the music.
Thank you!
Very kind of you to say! I hope you'll follow me on Instagram! TheMarkMontano
Love this idea!
Thanks so much
I swear you can make them for so little money if you want. They can get so expensive. I'd rather make my own any day!
GREAT IDEA!
What a pleasure to watch your video, darling! Lovely presentation.
Thanks so much Lynda!
They're super easy and after you make the first pair you'll wiz right through them. I make about 6 at a time.
Great Tutorial!! I added flat felled seams and they are going to make great Father's day presents.
Terrific Father's Day present idea!
I'm sure he'll love them!
My elastic always gets twisted in casings! I prefer to sew it to the fabric and fold. Glad it was useful MPM!
Great idea!
I know! I always get bored editing the sewing parts because it's real time so I always speed it up a little bit! :) Thanks for commenting!
I love this tutorial.. making tons for my man as birthday gift
He'll love them!
Is very easy to learn thank you for the teaching
Hey Nnenna! I'm so glad you liked this video! I hope you'll subscribe and if you have a minute I'd love to hear what you think of my latest project...A Van Gogh inspired mirror! ua-cam.com/video/ehgUHam07Fk/v-deo.html
Very easy to understand really, thanks for the tutorial..
Wear in health!
I love this video! Thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it. I haven't purchased boxers in years now.....Love making my own.
This is a great tutorial! Thank you for posting this Mark! I've being searching for it for a long time :)
Wow, you make it look so easy! Okay, that's it, boxer briefs for everyone for Christmas!! LOL
It's so easy!
Awesome idea!!! Will make for myself!!!
Thanks so much Wendy Sue!
You're the best Lisa!
Yup, no one will see! I love using 99c store fabric for boxers. I make tons of them now.
Thanks Reya!
Yes, I have been here before but thought I would say CONGRATULATIONS for this project being so popular (you will soon have the world wearing boxers) and wish you HAPPY "Fiskars Friday" :)
Thanks Tracy!
I would love some for Xmas!
love them... and love your bling
Thanks so much!
Add another inch at the top of the waistband. That sounds like it might help you out with this problem! Make sure to keep your pattern and change it so that it fits you perfectly. Then use it over and over again!
Thanks for tip on avoiding fraying of fabric at the seams by using a pricking scissors.
Thank you! I still make my own! Glad you like the project!
brief and precise!👍👍👍
Brief indeed!
I'm so glad you got the book Sewthern! You can use more than just black spray paint, too. You could use any color actually and it would look great. I'd love a review on amazon from you if you have a chance!
You could stitch the elastic on first and then serge it so that you don't have to hold it in place. This way you can get the hang of it. The worst thing about sergers is threading them. I truly hate it!
Hi Mark 😍 your video is superb and explicit with no gibberish. Could you make a video about boxer brief too with the cutting. Thanks mate. Oh😚one more thing I subscribed to your channel. 👌👍
