Let customers speak for us
This men’s boxer shorts sewing pattern is absolutely perfect for beginners like me. The instructions are incredibly detailed and easy to follow, making it a great choice for anyone making their first garment. What makes this pattern truly special is the support from Jane. She personally provides guidance and really takes the time to help you succeed.
After finishing my first pair of boxer shorts, I realised the front was a bit tight for my partner. I described the issue to Jane, and she immediately understood where the problem was. She professionally explained the fit issue and even sent me a tutorial link on how to extend the crotch area on the pattern. Thanks to her, I learned something new and improved my sewing!
It’s been such a wonderful experience—I’m still excited that I successfully sewed my very first garment. I highly recommend this pattern to any beginner. What you’re getting isn’t just a sewing pattern—you’re getting a sewing mentor too.
I love her voice on the video tutorial. She’s very pleasant to listen to. She explains things very well. I love the pattern
I made two collared camp shirts for my husband in no time.
Super simple to follow the pattern and the extra resources/videos etc were so helpful for the fine details.
Thank you so much Jane! I'll be sure to check your site first the next time I'm making something new xo
I really enjoyed making the Bucket Hat. The pattern, and instructions are very easy to follow. The finished product was a perfect fit and looked great. Highly recommend
The pattern works and does fit. Have sewn it twice so far and have a 3rd planned Was able to sew the shirt to fit without any alteration to the pattern. I did have to look up other instructions that work better for the collar and went with larger buttons than advised (Slightly larger is better for plus sized)
Really like that there is A3 printing, made the home printing process much easier.
Wish there were more patterns for larger men.
Great communication, beautiful fabric.
I really enjoyed sewing this pattern. The instructions were easy to follow and I'm very happy with how the robe turned out. I made my robe out of flanelette and added piping. It's lovely and warm. Definitely recommend this pattern.
Jane congratulations on your extensive array of beautifully crafted designs and gorgeous gift solutions. Your Autumn range has brightened up our kitchen no end with few failing to admire your tea towels when they call in.
I’m really excited to make this, but I want to make it special. My husband had a winter robe I bought him 30 years ago and while it is threadbare in parts he won’t part with it, so this summer robe needs to be the right fabric weight and colour. Still in the planning. Winter here in Australia so I have a little time for selection
I received my fabric today and I was so happy, the fabric ( the orange leaf) is so much better than the picture, wonderful quality 👍👍. I will be making it into a shirt and I can’t wait to get started. Thank you Jane for your wonderful design, I really love it, Coralie in Brookfield 😊😊
This fabric looks and feels great, can't wait to sew another pair of men's boxers. The printed design is unique- there's nothing like this at Spotlight!
Very nice fabric
The shorts turned out really well, the pattern was well presented and very easy to make with the aid of Jane's excellent step by step video tutorials. I enjoyed being part of the sew-along and look forward to more opportunities to participate and learn in this way. The fabric is lovely to work with and I'm looking forward to making more garments with Jane's amazing fabric designs.
I had the lovely opportunity to join into the Valentine's day sewalong this weekend. It was my first sewalong and I really enjoyed the experience. I've been sewing on and off for 25 years or so. Sewing is a solo hobby for me and joining a sew-along makes it more communal.
The shorts pattern was easy to understand and cut out of the lovely fabric which was included in my sew-along. Jane's step by step videos were excellent to follow along. I really liked how the shorts turned out. Definitely recommend this pattern and I will definitely join more sew-alongs!
I wanted to support a local designer. Jane was very responsive and supportive when I had difficulty interpreting the instructions, Jane was very open to changing things to make it easier to understand. In the end, the shirt fitted beautifully without any adjustments. I'm very happy with it.

-
I am worried this won’t fit him?
- The Formal Pattern Range - Boy, Youth, Men contains 2 sizes, and Men Plus contains 3 sizes providing flexibility for modification where needed.
- Try using our copilot (that little atomic icon in the bottom of the screen). Click it and tell it your measurements to see which size fits you best. It is improving all the time so give it a go.
- I also understand you are worried about sizing. This is why every pattern comes with Finished Garment measurements which are based upon our Standardised Body Measurements found in the Size Chart on every product page. The difference between the Body and the Finished Garment measurements are designed with comfort in mind, so you have room to move. Full article on buying the right size pattern here.
- If you are still unsure which size you should buy send an email and I will get back to you with a recommendation.
-
What fabric should I make this pattern out of?
- It depends on the purpose. The tutorials demonstrate using a cotton fabric.
- The Men’s Formal Bundle works well with light to medium weight fabrics for shape. Use a medium weight cotton, linen or linen/cotton blend fabric, silk or satin.
- If you are not sure which thread and needle type/size to use with silk or satin, use this Reference Guide.
- Matching the fabric design at the seams makes for a more professional finish, so consider this when purchasing fabric meterage if you are using a patterned fabric. A plain colour fabric makes for easier sewing. Wash your fabric before cutting out your pattern pieces. Some natural fabrics will shrink 3-5%.
-

Get each of these garments can be made in one day or less. They are simple and fun.
