    What size is the pattern?
    appreciate appreciated

    This is a large. Because the elastic is adjustable, there's some wiggle room in the size. I definitely recommend making a muslin to test the fit and make sure it'll work for you.

    Are there any written instructions so I can use while I am sewing ? That would be helpful since I may not be watching the video when I do this project.

    Tried to print out pattern. Looks like it is not actual size. What am I doing wrong? thanks!

    Im not sure I understand your question, but Im going to guess that when you hit print, you have a printer setting that might say "scale to fit" or something like that. Try and dig around with the advanced printer settings and find anything that will deal with scaling. Make sure it is not enabled. Each page will print on a standard sheet of paper. It obviously will then need to be assembled.

    Thanks for your reply. After I printed out ALL the pattern pieces I realized I had to assemble it!

    I had never made a pair of boxer shorts for my guys in our family, but now I can. And I thank you for the information. I have been doing alterations for many years. And I also like to quilt. but I have been self taught from sweat shops I have worked in. I enjoy learning new things as far as sewing goes. Thanks again. Peggy White
