It’s a tradition for me to help Delia make boxer shorts for her papa (TheMisterT) as gifts. So I pick up fun prints as I come upon them and then when the time is right, we make boxer shorts!
I did a fun stitch on these in a coordinating thread color.
Then something a little punny/saucy.
I use Simplicity 9958 (out of print) and have made DOZENS of pairs. I think 1-hour is a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s pretty quick, especially if you cut and sew a few pairs at a time and just roll with one color of thread. Ahem.

The hair metal cracks me up!
Thanks, friends!
Always
Thanks! I was hoping there would be a lightning bolt-looking one; this was as close as I could get with “sharp” edges!
Me, too! I feel like the IRL rockers might be a bit miffed that they are so wee tiny and cute!

“I’m too metal for this, I’m the effing prince of darkness,” squeaked a wee tiny hair metal rocker before he got folded into the hem line.

Sometimes when she needs the help of our opposable thumbs we call her “ol’ no thumbs!”
