Body Cast Boxers

We finally got our new computer!  It's been weeks without one, and while it was kind of nice to have a break, I'm ready to be able to use the Internet again. 

Because I didn't have the Internet to waste time on, my husband's on a really busy schedule and awake at home only 2-3 hours a day (which includes getting ready, eating, etc), and I went back to a 7:30 bed time with my kids, I have got a lot of junk made and I'm really excited to show you!  I probably have a month's worth of projects ready to blog.

So here's the first project:
Open sided boxers for our little friend that broke his femur.

He was jumping on the trampoline with sprinklers, and fell, breaking his thigh bone right up at the hip.  He's only 5 and in a body cast for 2 months.  Because the bar connects between his legs, regular pants obviously can't be worn and so we made him some little boxers to stretch over his huge cast.

They're just elastic waist boxer shorts, but the side seams have velcro and snaps to make it able to attach around the body cast.

We took the first superhero pair over and they fit!  We were glad because he has to wear diapers in his cast, and just had to keep a blanket on his lap because he had nothing to wear on bottom.  Luckily me and another neighbor are making him shorts.  He is bummed he'll miss the first weeks of kindergarten poor little guy...and his poor mom that has to take care of him and dead lift him anywhere they can roll him with a wagon.  Man, I hope my kids never break a leg.

Once I knew they'd work we made a few more pairs.

These ones are just velcro down the sides.

Poor kid.  What a bummer way to end your summer, but he's always been in a good mood when we've seen him and was relieved to find out the cast should be off in time for Halloween, because these boxers would just stink as a costume.
