Cycling Clothes Sewing Pattern

[HB2210]

Anyone know where I could get a sewing pattern to make my own shorts and tops? I've looked online and most seem American, French etc but can't really see how to order them

Can anyone help? Cheers

I think I saw something on Etsy a couple of years ago - it was a downloadable pattern so delivery wasn't an issue. I'll have to check on my other PC if I bookmarked a link.

Great I'd appreciate it... I have never sewn in my life, but I'm willing to give it a go ... Or if all else fails ... That's why I'm blessed with a big sister

Eventually managed to get one online ... Well that's another £7.30 wasted Here's to learning a new skill ....

Good luck with that. Stretchy fabrics like lycra are harder to sew than non-stretchy so you might have fun! If it all works out you'll have to post some pictures.

Yes and you need a special needle - not too pointy, sort of rounded. Again, google is prob your friend!

Useful book? http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?kn=stretch+fabrics&sts=t

Whatever fabric you sew, you need the correct needle, so it's not really any worse than choosing a needle for thin cotton or heavy denim! Courage ma brave!

Get a machine that can handle the actual material. As both the foot & the Feed Dog will have to be able to handle the material without damaging it. Not all can.

You will also need a thimble for thimbling things .
