A fun, cute, super easy swap based on this boxers/underwear pattern from Colette Patterns: ((http://www.colettepatterns.com/blog/colette-patterns-news/free-pattern-to-download-the-madeleine-mini-bloomers)  And it is free! They could be decorated based on your partners interests, be they risque or adorable (or both!)  This pattern only takes about an hour and a half to make, so it is super fast.

[vanessa_nichole]

Yay! Just sent in my info.  I'm excited to get rolling on this swap.  I will probably send early since I'll be on vacation starting 11/7.

[MommyTheMaid]

Those are adorable and I could totally use some for the rare occasion that I go out and wear short skirts or some for jammies.  I will have to see how much work I get done on my 21 Days swap and maybe sign up

[antidote]

Send my info.... This pattern is really nice 

[tattooedcrafter]

I'm definatly signing up for this one, I'm going to fill out the questionaire in just minute

[ZidishaLuxe]

Yay, I've been waiting for this one! Of course now I'm in the midst of designing for a show, but I think this is do-able since it's such a simple pattern and it's just a matter of choosing fabric and embellisments. Will send in my application soon! I think this will be a very fun swap. =]

[LiveLongandCraft]

I want to sign up. I am in the process of moving and grieving so I don't want to overwhelm myself. But this is a month away so I think it could do it.

[tattooedcrafter]

I'm making a practice pair in the morning, I already have all the peices cut and ready to sew.

good idea, think I may do the same before we get partners and everything

[tattooedcrafter]

I finished my practice pair, the yare far from perfect but my printer printed the patern wonky and I did not do all the steps, I finished them in about 30 minutes. First they turned out huge, like 70" around so I cut them down a little bit, then the legs were a little funky. I'm sure that they look better with the little pleat in the front. I also only did one row of elastic because that was all I had and I put the ribbon at the very bottom instead of a little higher so I'm sure that will make it look better. Other then that they are cute and comfy, I want a few more pairs now, I'm going to make one more but put more time into them.
