Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The June Bug Boxer Shorts are an easygoing, on-trend staple you’ll want to sew again and again. With a relaxed fit and comfy elastic waistband, they bring all the casual charm of traditional boxer shorts into a style you can confidently wear out and about—or just lounge in all day.
Inspired by the current boxer short trend, this pattern includes options that mimic that iconic look, perfect for anyone who wants to tap into what’s popular right now. They’re especially loved by hard-to-please teens, but trust us—this comfy and cool style is for everyone.
Fabric and finish make all the difference—go with a cotton plaid and a contrast cuff for that classic boxer vibe, or choose a linen blend and clean hem for an everyday pair of wearable, breezy shorts. With options for rise, inseam, hem, and pockets, you can mix and match for a totally custom look every time.
From lounging to trendsetting, the June Bug Boxer Shorts are a must-have in your handmade wardrobe.

- Inseams: 2.5″ / 5″
- Rise: Midrise/ Highrise
- Hem: Cuff/ Cuff with Contrast / Ruffle
- Pockets: Front Patch Pocket / Inseam Pockets / Back Pockets
- Fly: None/ Closed (only stitching) Fly/ Boxer Faux Fly (Partially open, so looks functional but still closed)
