Tavio Shorts Fibre Mood sewing pattern.
Size XS-S-M-L-XL-XXL-XXXL.
See the sizing guide in the image gallery for more sizing information.
At first glance, Tavio looks like a simple pair of sports shorts, but look again. Inside, you'll find built-in panties for extra comfort. The diagonal lines are flattering – yes, even around your bottom – and the waistband includes an insert with elastic, plus the option to thread in a cord or ribbon for a decorative finish. The edges are neatly finished with bias tape, either self-cut from your fabric or purchased separately. Ideal for the runners, yogis or cyclists among us.
Recommended fabrics
Choose a lightweight, woven sports fabric such as microfibre, nylon taslan, modal, or polyester ripstop. Features: Quick-drying, breathable and possibly water-repellent or with a light stretch. Weight: Lightweight (approx. 80-130 g/m²) for optimal freedom of movement. For the built-in panties: Fabric type: Soft stretch knit or sports jersey (e.g. polyamide-elastane or bamboo-elastane). Features: Moisture-regulating, stretchable in both directions, and skin-friendly. Fibre content: At least 10% elastane for a good fit and comfort during movement. Finishing tip: Use flatlock or stretch stitches to prevent chafing.

If you opt for the printed paper pattern we'll print it on our in-house large format A0 printer and post it to your address.
We remove the stitching lines when we print Fibre Mood patterns to avoid confusion when cutting out your size.
Please note that we don’t print the instructions. These will be emailed to you as a PDF, along with the digital pattern files, when we dispatch your paper pattern.
Occasionally some large pattern pieces may be split across two A0 sheets and will need to be joined together.
