I needed some new, modest PJ's for a trip away so I set out to make them myself...
I found an online pattern for boxer shorts and printed it up. The pattern was slightly too small for me, so I measured it and adjusted the size. (Online patterns can be a little tedious to work with, but if you want to save money, they are the way to go!)
The pictures below are from the finished articles of clothing with notes as to their construction. I find it difficult not owning an overlocker or serger, but I am becoming fairly adept at finishing seams in more couture ways as a result.
