Beginner sewing skills are required for the basic shorts or leggings - some experience with sewing knits is expected. Intermediate sewing skills are required for the zipper pocket.

Note that this pattern requires stretch jersey fabric with good recovery - it is drafted with negative ease and intended to be very close fitting. The biker short hem ends 8 cm (3 in) above the knee.

1cm (3/8in) seam allowances are included except for the waistband edge, where a 4cm (1 1/2in) elastic allowance is included. A 2cm (3/4in) hem allowance is also included. I have also included diagrams showing how to make common fit adjustments to this pattern (in addition to my usual illustrated instructions!).

This pattern is designed and tested to print onto both A4 and US Letter paper, and uses 22 pages for the pattern. An A0 compatible "Print at Copy Shop" version is also included. All pattern files are layered, allowing you to print just the size(s) required.

• Copy Shop pdf (compatible with A0 and 36in wide)
