No butts about it, when it comes to underwear, comfort is key. Swap your cheeky, wedgie-inducing knickers for a pair of practical, old-school, full bum coverage, grandma-approved pants.

Pair your shorties with our close-fitting, classic camisole – the everyday, year-round, versatile essential. Wear on its own in the warm weather or as a layer beneath your Hug Hoodie during the colder months.

Our Go Shorties & Cami comes packed with features, so many that we had to divide the pattern into 2 views.

VIEW A SHORTIES sit at the top hip, they feature fold over elastic for the leg and waist finishing. They have 2 gusset options, one that fully encloses the gusset seams on the inside and one where no seam is visible from the front.

VIEW A CAMI features fold over elastic for the straps and neck binding. And the option of adjustable straps.

Most suitable for: underwear, sleepwear…

VIEW B SHORTIES sit at the top hip, they feature colour blocking, leg bands and an enclosed elastic waistband or a wide exposed elastic waistband option.

VIEW B CAMI features colour-blocking and the neckline and straps are finished using self-fabric. It has the option to add a built-in bra and the option for adjustable straps.

Most suitable for: loungewear, swimwear, beachwear, sportswear, underwear, sleepwear…

 

Fabric recommendations

  • Viscose or cotton jersey with at least 5% elastane

  • Stretch lace

  • Mesh

Consider how your fabric is going to feel against your skin. For the gusset of the shorties we recommend 100% cotton for comfort and ventilation.

NEW!

Breeze Shorts are your minimalist, relaxed-fit, summer shorts for keeping your cool in the heat. Featuring handy side pockets and a convenient back patch pocket. The wide, old-school boxing style elasticated waistband is an aesthetic statement that also makes for an easy fit.

Breeze Shorts are slightly longer than your average pair of shorts with an airy fit around the leg. Each little design feature has been carefully considered for people (like us) who didn’t wear shorts. But now we do and hope you will too.

There’s nothing like a summer Breeze, so bring on the sunshine, get those legs out and lap up the vitamin D.

 

Fabric recommendations

Breeze Shorts look particularly good in linen or any similar light to medium weight woven fabric with a bit of drape. Be aware that fabrics without drape may stick out and not hang well. And fabrics that are too thick will be bulky at the gathered waist.

Consider: cotton, cotton blends, flannel, chambray, double gauze, seersucker, viscose…

An undeniably sleek version of the humble t-shirt, with capped sleeves and a flattering semi-loose fit that sits at ease on your body.

Ideal for every day, it’s the t-shirt that promises to go with everything. The unexpected centre back strip (optional) adds distinction and gives this feminine t-shirt it’s saucy name.

Make with light to medium weight viscose or viscose/elastane for a beautiful, soft drape. In cooler weather, use French terry or a true knit and layer over a long sleeve fitted top.

Quick and easy to sew, we suggest you make at least two, so you have one to wear, whilst the other is in the wash.

 

Make this style in UK size 6 to 20.

The extremely versatile Rest Vest is a gorgeous, cleverly constructed, easy to wear garment with angled seamlines that lends itself to colour-blocking. The unique back detail flatters the shoulders and creates a statement silhouette.

Can be worn just as easily for sweaty workouts as it can for nights out with friends, chilling at the beach or for bed with our indispensable Go Shorties.

The Rest Vest is available in two fits:

RELAXED FIT
Unlike the close-fit Rest Vest, the relaxed-fit Rest Vest flows at the hips.

CLOSE FIT
A noticeably narrower cut than our relaxed-fit Rest Vest, to ensure nothing gets in the way when you workout. The additional panels at the sides give you the opportunity to use up small left-over pieces of fabric.

 

Fabric recommendations

  • Light to medium weight jersey, something with a bit of drape works well like a viscose/elastane or a technical sportswear jersey.
  • A poly/cotton or 100% cotton single jersey will be fine, as long as it’s a lighter weight so it has a bit of drape.

You should be able to stretch the fabric by a minimum of 20% and it should snap back to its original size after stretching.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN TEEN SIZES
