For regular and high intensity exercising use special athletic quick drying fabrics like peach skin, woven nylon fabrics, non stretch / low stretch mesh, nylon poplin, nylon dobby and similar fabrics.

For the shorties and waistband: light to medium weight knit fabrics with at least 50% horizontal and vertical stretch and medium recovery like performance, athletic and swim fabrics, Cotton Lycra and similar.

Not my favourite

A complex project where a lot of things can go wrong. Had a lot of issues with outer pants, binding.. likely partially due to my material being to thick/rigid. The leg on the outer pant was quite wide.

Great fitting and true to size shorts. Superb instructions that are easy to follow. Made three pairs and love the fit.

Great versatile pattern with interesting construction details

I very much enjoyed making these. The instructions were comprehensive and I like that they include detailed pdf layouts so you can avoid wasting paper. The fit is excellent though it’s important to follow the suggested fabric guides for stretch as I had to remake the waistband several times to accommodate the fabric I was using.
