Fehr Trade - PDF Sewing Pattern - Versatili Workout Tops

The Fehr Trade Versatili Workout Tops sewing pattern is designed for comfortable, practical activewear, with a clever construction that eliminates side seams to help reduce underarm irritation. The pattern includes three versions: a sleeveless Versatili Tank, a short-sleeved Versatili Tee and a long-sleeved Versatili Tee.

All three have a relaxed, boxy fit and a banded neckline. The Tank features distinctive back seaming with additional armhole bands, while the Tee versions have sleeves in two different lengths. The result is a versatile pattern you can use to create workout tops for running, training and other active pursuits.

The pattern is designed for lightweight stretch jersey with at least 50% crosswise stretch, including bamboo jersey, merino wool jersey, Dri-Fit, CoolMax and stretch mesh. A small amount of Vilene bias tape or stabilising tape is recommended to reinforce the Tee shoulder seams, while a twin needle or coverstitch machine is used for the hems and sleeve hems.

Rated as suitable for beginners, the pattern does assume some garment sewing experience. Fully illustrated instructions guide you through construction, while a Common Fit Adjustments guide provides additional help with making alterations. Fehr Trade also offers an Activewear Sewing for Beginners eBook for further advice.

Seam allowances are included throughout: 1cm (3/8in) seam allowances and 2cm (3/4in) hem and sleeve hem allowances.

The pattern was developed by a long-distance runner and sewist who has made her own exercise clothing for several years, including running seven full marathons in self-sewn gear. Fehr Trade's digital patterns are road-tested by the designer and a team of fellow fit sewists.
