Sweat Luxe

£8.49

Two tops from one pattern!

View A is a top with a deep armscye and short sleeves with a faced V-neck and dipped hem, designed to wear for your warmup or cool-down, or even just with jeans.

View B is a sleeveless tank/vest top with a banded, scooped neckline and straight hem. Deep armholes, and loose, draped sides make this a perfect warm weather workout top for those who prefer a looser fit (and showing off a fancy sports bra!).

Update for 2020: This now comes as layered pdfs, so you can just print your size(s) if your pdf app supports it (ie: Adobe Acrobat).

Advanced beginner sewing skills are required for this pattern - some experience with sewing knits is expected. 1cm (3/8in) seam allowances and 2cm (3/4in) hem allowance (View B) are included.

  • Fully illustrated instructions
  • 6 sizes (see images for size chart)
  • Common Fit Adjustments alterations guide
  • "Trimless" Print at Home pdf (compatible with A4 and US Letter), using 25 pages for Views A or B (but many pages do not require trimming and joining)

  • Layered pdfs, so you can just print your size(s) if your pdf app supports it (ie: Adobe Acrobat).

I am a long-distance runner and also a sewist - I've long been disappointed by the quality and fit of exercise clothing available on the market, so I've been sewing my own for the past few years - even running seven full marathons in my own-sewn gear! All my digital sewing patterns have been road-tested by myself and a team of fellow fit sewists.
