I saw this on "The Chew" last week while I was out of town. It was a wine koozie from mens briefs/underwear. I am thinking of making them for canned drinks (you know which flavor...haha) for upcoming craft shows.

So does anyone have a tutorial or pattern to make one?

Thanks in advance & happy crafting! 2012 craft show season is less than one month away!!!

Haven't seen one but will be waiting to see what you make and it sounds like a really cute good craft show seller.

I tried searching around but came up empty. This is the only pic I could find. I would make a paper pattern that would fit around the can then lay it out on the underwear and cut it out. (I would use the front part of underwear) Or put the can inside the underwear and pull it around the back to fit snug and pin it then cut the excess off and sew up the back.

No offense, but that just sounds NASTY mens underwear????? lol

7575EH, It is just one of those cute gag gifts that people are making, I bet they will be a good seller-remember Grandma Bonnies weiner washers that were a big hit.
I found some patterns & pics for can koozies, just use your briefs for the material.

thanks y'all. I am gonna have to "invent" a pattern. (hahaha)

Eileen - I bought some lil boys briefs when I was at Target on Tax Free weekend. I got 6 in a pkg. I went {{{{eeeeewwww}}}} at first when I saw it on tv. But ya know...it just might work!

remember Grandma Bonnie's redneck teeshirt made from men's briefs?

yeah-I thought about the ladies tops made from mens briefs but did not want to over-do it.

I am trying to find my way around this idea.

anyways-thanks y'all. But don't stop lookin' - ya hear??! (hahaha)

Hi:
Just google The Chew or ABC.com/the chew and check the dates for topic and videos. Good luck in finding - sounds interesting.
