FREE cycle wear sewing patterns

We have released a collection of downloadable open source PDF sewing pattern packs produced during the Bikes & Bloomers research.

Six patterns (comprising 9 garments) are inspired by patents lodged by inventive British women in the 1890s for convertible cycle wear.
