My First Ever Attempt at Boxing Trunks...

[JamaicaLuvly]

So I've been lurking here for quite a long time and am just now getting the nerve to post one of my projects. My husband is a boxing coach, and these are my first attempt at making boxing trunks. They're for one of his kids that he trains named Moon. (Hence the moon logo on the leg   ) I was very pleased with how they turned out seeing as I'm a novice sewer and there are NO tutorials or patterns out there for these. Sorry I can only post the links. Anyway, here they are.....

Thanks for your kind words!!  I really am pleased with how they turned out. I guess I'll have to actually plan out and research ALL my projects now instead of just diving in blind like I usually do!

OOH. Those are super cool. You did awesome! Especially for the first time! I always drive in blind, frankly. The only time I used a pattern it was like the 4000th thing I made, so I figured I could handle maybe using a pattern. yet, I was disappointed because it was too big and I used the smallest pattern available. :[ Now-a-days I pretty much look at a picture and chop out a nice looking garment. Heh. It takes practice, but with a start like that, you're born for this.
