This armband has a pocket on one side with a simple fold-over flap for keeping things like a phone, keys, travelcard, etc tight against your arm while you run. There are no closures – the band just slips over your arm and the stretchiness of the fabric holds it in place.

This is a unisex garment, suitable for either men or women. Beginner sewing skills are required for this pattern - You should know the basics of sewing but may not have sewn with knits before.

The armband pattern requires 4-way stretch jersey fabric with good recovery - it is drafted to fit an iPhone 12 Max (if you need a taller or shorter pocket you can adjust using the provided lines). Six sizes are provided to accommodate a range of arm sizes.

1cm (3/8in) seam and 1.5cm (5/8in) hem allowances are included throughout. This pattern is designed and tested to print onto both A4 and US Letter paper, and uses 4 pages for the pattern.

Update for 2021: This now comes as a layered pattern pdf, so you can just print your size(s) if your pdf app supports it (ie: Adobe Acrobat). Additionally, the pocket size has been increased to a height of 16cm (6 3/8in) to accommodate the iPhone 12 Max handset.

Pattern features:

• Layered pdfs (with separate sizes)
• "Trimless" Print at Home pdf (compatible with A4 and US Letter)
• Projector-optimized pdf
• Fully illustrated instructions
• 6 sizes (see images for size chart)
• Common Fit Adjustments guide
  

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.
