Re-purposed Leather Sunglasses Sleeve

For some reason I didn't feel like making a new boxer shorts pattern today. Instead I made a sleeve for my darkers using the tongues of some old Red Wing's that I got from a co-worker. The interior is lined with organic cotton/hemp fleece. Hand-stitched and riveted.

Clear Acrylic Stamps

I had some clear acrylic stamps made recently for my imaginary future clothing brand, Circle "A". Two out of the three work pretty well. For the rounded diamond logo the acrylic material pools the ink, so it doesn't print as a solid color. I've read that using a fine grain sandpaper to rough up the surface may help. Still need to experiment with different inks too. For my next logo stamps I'll probably spend a little more and go for the more traditional red rubber stamp.

Drawers, v.2

Same fabric as the previous version expect for inner fly piece which is natural colored muslin. I guess I can consider these boxers as my first experiment in pattern grading. I took a size 26 and made a size 30 from it. Overall it worked better than I was expecting. I'm going to make another version using the same fabric, but increase the waist 1/2" more, shorten the back slash a little, and use white, all-cotton thread. After that I can make a pair with some leftover gray chambray I've been saving.

Then the next step will be to try and reduce the front waistband curve an inch or so.
