Introducing the Tanja Boyshort

Hello, sewing friends!  These are certainly strange times we are living in.  I've spent the last few weeks holed up in my house, like so many people, feeling a bit isolated.  It's at times like this that I am so thankful to have hobbies to keep my mind and hands busy.  I hope you have been able to find some comfort with your sewing, just like I have.

I have tried to carry on with my life as normally as I can, and that means I have continued designing patterns.  I am happy to share with you today my latest creation, the Tanja Boyshort.
In light of the current health and economic crises, through the end of April I will be donating 50% of the Tanja Boyshort proceeds to my local food pantry, the Harker Heights Food Care Center.
Now, on with the details of the pattern...

I enjoy wearing boyshorts under summer dresses, but my main pet peeve is the floating gusset.  In RTW boyshorts, the gussets are usually just tacked down in a few spots and flop around the inside of the short.  I find this a bit annoying and uncomfortable.  My goal with this pattern was to create a boyshort style with an enclosed gusset, and also to offer a variety of finishing options.
