We’re very excited to finally say it — we’ve released our very own athletic sewing patterns 🎉
Meet the Flow Bra and Flow Leggings/Shorts: two elevated, go-to patterns designed to work seamlessly with our Athletic Kits and fit beautifully into any handmade activewear wardrobe.
When we designed our first two athletic patterns, we weren’t thinking just about beginners — and we definitely weren’t designing only for advanced sewists either.
We designed them for:
Makers who want clean, well-fitting pieces
Sewists who appreciate less fuss and fewer seams
And creatives who want a solid base they can wear as-is or hack into something more expressive
Because simple doesn’t mean boring — and it definitely doesn’t mean basic.
The Flow Bra was designed to be the kind of piece you actually reach for.
Clean lines
Minimal seams
No complicated strappy back
Easy to pull on and off
It’s a great-fitting basic bra that offers support and comfort without overdesigning the fit. Perfect for everyday wear, training sessions, or layering under tanks — and an ideal starting point if you love to hack patterns into your own creative variations.
For the bottoms, we wanted the same thing: a flattering, high-waisted fit that feels good on and shows off your fabric choices beautifully.
The Flow Shorts/Leggings pattern delivers:
A clean, high-rise silhouette
Shorts or full-length leggings in one pattern
A fit that works perfectly with both prints and savvy solids
And because we can’t help ourselves… we did level it up just a little 😉
There’s an optional mesh ankle insert for those who want:
A subtle sexy detail
A pop of contrast
Or a way to elevate a “simple” legging without overcomplicating it
These patterns were designed to pair effortlessly with our upgraded Athletic Kits.
Base Kits are perfect for 1–2 pieces
Think: Flow Bra + Shorts
Elite Kits are ideal if you want 3–4 pieces
Think: Flow Bra + Leggings + extras
Whether you’re building your first matching set or expanding a handmade activewear rotation, the Flow patterns and Athletic Kits were made to work together.
We like to think of the Flow patterns as elevated basics.
They’re clean.
They fit well.
They don’t fight you while you sew them.
But they’re also the perfect canvas — for bold prints, contrast panels, mesh inserts, or future hacks that make them uniquely yours.
Because basic doesn’t mean bad.
And simple doesn’t mean uninspired.
To celebrate the launch of the Flow Collection:
Until the end of January, when you purchase one of our newly upgraded Athletic Kits, you can choose either the Flow Bra or the Flow Shorts/Leggings Pattern for free with code FLOW.
It’s the easiest way to get everything you need to sew a complete, well-fitting athletic set — without overthinking it.
