The Duathlon Shorts sewing pattern from Fehr Trade is designed for close-fitting activewear, with three length options, contrast side panels and practical built-in storage. Choose from capri, biker short or booty short lengths to create a pair suited to running, cycling, duathlon training or other active pursuits.

Each hip features an integrated pocket that's ideal for carrying gels, keys or a phone, while an optional padding piece can be added for cyclists who want extra cushioning and comfort on the bike.

The shorts have an elasticated, high-rise waistband designed to stay securely in place as you move. They're drafted with negative ease, meaning the finished garment is approximately 90% of your body measurements, so stretch jersey with good recovery is essential.

This is an Intermediate-level sewing pattern, with some experience sewing stretch knits recommended. A Common Fit Adjustments section is included alongside the fully illustrated instructions.

The pattern includes 1cm seam allowances throughout, except at the waistband edge where a 4cm allowance is included for the elastic. A 3cm hem allowance is included for each length.

Digital Pattern Information

This is a digital PDF sewing pattern. Your download link will be emailed shortly after purchase. Please check your Spam folder if you don't see it, and get in touch if your download email hasn't arrived within 24 hours.

Fehr Trade patterns are for personal use only. You can make garments for yourself, friends and family, but products made from this pattern or derivatives of it cannot be sold commercially.

French language information: French-speaking sewists must add both the PDF pattern and the French instructions to their basket. The French instructions do not include the pattern pieces, so both files are required to make the garment.

Sewing Level: Intermediate

The Duathlon Shorts are designed for stretch performance fabrics with at least 50% stretch in both directions and good recovery.

  • Main fabric: 1m (1yd) of 150cm (60in) wide Lycra jersey. Wicking Lycra is ideal. This is enough for the capri length, with less required for the biker and booty short lengths.
  • Contrast fabric: 70cm (28in) of 150cm (60in) wide Lycra jersey with at least 50% stretch in both directions.

For the Duathlon Shorts you will need:

  • Less than 1m of 2cm (3/4in) woven, also known as braided, waistband elastic
  • Less than 0.5m (one fat quarter) of padding fabric for the optional cycling padding

The padding fabric does not need to stretch. You can use one or more layers of thick fleece, sweatshirting or laminated foam padding, such as the type used in bra making, to create the cushioning you prefer.

This is a PDF Pattern. Which will be available to download via email once purchased.
