I haven't sewn much in a while - had some other craft project going on, including knitting and shawl and making an illuminated tree thingy for a local art event - but I'm just starting to look at Christmas presents. I'd like to make some boxers for my partner, but here in New Zealand, I think the hardest thing to get is probably going to be decent plush waistband elastic. I can find one stockist online, and they sell a lot of bra stuff so it's probably decent, but it would be nice to be able to see before buying... But, New Zealand.

For the jersey part, I think I'm going to try and get some merino / elastane jersey, but that would also be online, with limited colour choice. Why *do* the big in-person fabric shops only have rubbish fabric?
