Pattern Review : Stitch Upon A Time - Boxers


Made a pair of women's boxers to go with my Watson Bra. Still loving the fabric from Spoonflower and this short circuit design by robyriker. 
The women's boxer pattern is from Stitch Upon A Time. Made up the short leg version which is a good thing. The longer leg absolutely would not of worked with this fabric. If doing the longer leg I would definitely recommend using a 4 way stretch, that is unless you don't have large or muscular legs. Truthfully I am probably going to reshape the legs on this pair. I found that they rolled on me. Otherwise they were extremely easy to sew up and fit quite well. Did the higher waisted option from pattern. 
I also have a couple of more patterns to try from Stitch Upon A Time. One being the Fauna Jacket which I am going to use the rest of my short circuits fabric for along with some wonderful French Terry I picked up at DryGoods Design in Pioneer Square.

Spoonflower Fabric Watson Bra and Panties

Have been using some of the fabrics I got from Spoonflower. This is the Short Circuits in modern jersey designed by Robyriker. So far I have been very happy with the quality of fabrics from Spponflower. They are washing well and seem to keep their spring back quality.


The Watson Bra sewed up nicely and seems like a nice fit. The black fabric is powernet I picked up from Bra Makers Supply when I went to Boob Camp a while ago. The bra strapping is also from there as I bought some of their clearance spools recently - one in black and one in beige. It is a nice size and the price was definitely right. The picot elastic is from Sew Sassy Fabrics



The panties are a nice basic style, will have to see how they fit after they have been washed a couple of times. I haven't been having much luck in the sizing of panties recently, it varies greatly between every type of fabric. So unless I make every pair from the exact same fabric, which I must say would be a bit boring, I may be out of luck. It has been getting a bit discouraging.
