She made one of my brother 2 pairs of boxer shorts and sent them to him somewhere in the South Pacific. They were the rage of the entire ship!
Love your story about the boxers! I tell you I am cherishing these fabrics, almost felt sad when I cut for the quilt! My dad raised me so...I never had any clothing made of them and sometimes I think I missed out
