{"product_id":"threshold-shorts","title":"Threshold Shorts","description":"\u003cp\u003eA running short designed for lightweight wovens or mesh fabrics with three optional pockets, curved seamlines, bound hem, and elastic waist. An optional runderwear brief or thong can be attached at the waistband or worn separately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntermediate sewing skills are required for this pattern - some experience with sewing knits is expected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shorts pattern is drafted with some ease and can be sewn with woven or stretch fabric. The runderwear pattern requires 4-way stretch jersey fabric with good recovery - it is drafted with 10% negative ease (the finished garment will be 90% of body measurements). The shorts inseam is 5cm (2in).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1cm (3\/8in) seam allowances are included on the shorts, except for the waistband edge, where a 4cm (1 1\/2in) elastic allowance is included. A 6mm (1\/4in) seam allowance is included on the runderwear. Due to the unorthodox seamlines, I have also included diagrams showing how to make common fit adjustments to this pattern (in addition to my usual illustrated instructions!).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis pattern is designed and tested to print onto both A4 and US Letter paper, and uses 21 pages for the pattern. If you are only making the shorts, you'll need to print 15 pages, with the runderwear making up the other 6 pages. An A0 compatible Print at Copy Shop version is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePattern features\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayered pdfs (with separate sizes)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrimless Print at Home pdf (compatible with A4 and US Letter)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopy Shop pdf (compatible with A0 and 36in wide)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProjector-optimized pdf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully illustrated instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 sizes (see images for size chart)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon Fit Adjustments guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplies\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShorts\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9m (3\/4 yard) of aerated wicking polyester such as DriFit(TM), CoolMax(TM), etc, or alternatively, lightweight, woven nylon (similar to RipStop).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRunderwear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4m (3\/8 yard) Lycra jersey with at least 50% stretch in both directions and good recovery (wicking lycra is ideal!) and small scrap of natural fibre fabric for crotch lining\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwin needle or coverstitch for elastic edges and hem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2m FOE (aka “fold over elastic”) or other binding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess than 1m of 2cm (3\/4in) woven (aka “braided”) waistband elastic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2m of 6mm (1\/4in) wide lingerie elastic for integrated runderwear, or 3m for standalone runderwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnline sportswear fabrics can be found at a multitude of online shops.

All my digital sewing patterns have been road-tested by myself and a team of fellow fit sewists. This pattern in particular has been in development for over four months, and I ran the 2014 Berlin marathon in a pair!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#ThresholdShorts #FehrTrade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur patterns are for personal use only.
