my favorite for my boys is ottobre 4-04. its the cutest little boxer briefs ever. DH keeps trying to talk me into making a bigger version for him, but I am not sure I am that talented yet... :lol: not too hard to put together, doesn't require a serger and I especially like that the elastic is encase cause DS is very tactile defensive.

Yes, the BBs in 4/04 are definitely my fave as well! I've also got KS 2179 (http://www.kwiksew.com/Patterns/P2151_2200/2179.cfm) which is boxer shorts from woven fabrics, and KS 2464 (http://www.kwiksew.com/Patterns/P2451_2500/2464.cfm), regular briefs from knit fabrics. My boys both prefer the BBs though, so that's all I've made in at least a year. Both of the KS patterns work well and have great instructions, so if you want to make a different style, that's where to start. :D

ok how the heck do you get old ottobre patterns? I keep hearing about that boxer pattern and would love to try it, but I couldn't find anything on their site about buying past patterns.
