Greetings from Jammy Grammy's Workshop!

Moby and I are busily making this summer's boxers for my (not so) little men. Ann and I hit the fabric shop a week and a half ago to pick out some fabric. So many choices, but these boys are growing up. We looked longingly at many cute but too childish fabrics and then moved on. We hit upon sports and outdoors fabric, along with a cute monkey print for Cameron and Keaton as she often calls her boys her "little monkeys."

I have three completed with the fourth half done. As I noted in a previous blog, these are so cute: droopy backsides, numerous flat-felled seams, fly fronts, and stitched-in elastic. I'm certain the first pair I made took me six hours. Now, after many years, I can make a pair in about an hour and a half, but the first pair each summer still goes in fits and starts until I get back in the groove. When I have these nine finished, my total will be forty-five since I first started in 2002.

Here are a few pictures from the workshop:


And the second pair of monkey boxers in process:


And fabric and pattern for more:


One of these days they'll be too big for Grammy Jammies, so I'm enjoying every moment of sewing these. Lots of blessings in every seam.
