I used the same “pattern” from the cut up boxers for these !
The fabric was a small cut (less than a yard) of vintage fabric I’ve had forever.
The scallops were utilized as a great hem…no sewing or extra hemming necessary, I just trimmed the natural scallop line.
For the waistband, I used a 2inch grosgrain ribbon (zigzagged onto the waistband) and used the leftover for a tie on the side (at the top of the side zipper).
