Easy DIY Project Idea for Slumber Party - Themed Boxer Shorts

Boxer shorts, lounge shorts, pj shorts - whatever you want to call them - make great favors for slumber parties and sleepovers. They are quick, easy and affordable to make and there are plenty of good, free tutorials available on the web if you don't already have a pattern. And this idea works well for boys or girls. I made several pair of girls jersey knit boxer shorts and matching headbands for a chevron themed birthday party recently and they are so cute (if I do say so myself)! Watch for a group photo in this blog after the party date. The possibilities for style, fabric choice, and fabric print are endless.  I made the headbands myself but you could save your scraps and let your guests make their own (ninja headband for the boys!) 

Stay tuned...I will be making a ruffled short with drawstring waistband in a mustache print cotton fabric. What do you get when you have a group of girls running around in these shorts, wearing fakes mustaches and derby hats?  A Mustache Bash Party!  Note to self: remember to take photos and add to blog.

Hope this post inspired you to start planning a child's birthday party or to just get out the sewing machine and make your child a pair of boxers in their favorite themed print.  I would love to hear what ideas you have on this subject.

Happy Sewing!
