I just can’t get enough of the Athletic Brushed Polyester from The Styled Magnolia! When I arrived home from vacation about a week ago, I was met with a package loaded with 2 stunning florals and a solid and am excited to show you the project that I made with one of them.
I made a pair of Super G shorts, a (nursing) strappy Power Sports Bra, and a pair of Inspire tights. Whew! Yes, I got all of this out of a little more than a yard (I noticed she cut generously, and I needed every extra inch I was sent!)
Shortie Super G Tights
On my shortie Super Gs, I cut the pattern piece off at 5 inches below the crotch and adjusted my gusset and pocket pieces accordingly. I also lined the gusset so that all my inseam seams are enclosed.
I really love this length for the summer. When I finished taking photos, I played a game of tennis with my husband, and my pockets were plenty big and deep to stuff tennis balls in.
For my lower pocket fabric, I used ombre striped yoga knit that was left over from a pair of tights that I blogged about HERE.
I LOVE these fabrics together. I knew I loved a good stripe/floral raglan (you can see my fave such raglan in this blogpost), and now, I can say I absolutely love a good floral/stripe pair of work out shorts.
Power Sports Bra
I wear power sports bras ALL THE TIME. I am not exaggerating when I say that I DO NOT have enough, though. They are (a) nursing bras that are (b) comfy to wear and (c) that I also can work out in and (d) that I make just using scraps from every work out tight I make. If you haven’t made one yet, you really need to try this pattern.
The strappy back option in the pattern is probably my favorite, but the pattern also has a racerback and U back option as well.
I made a size 28D. It has a really wide range of band sizes and cup sizes, which is so perfect for those of us who don’t fit traditional XS, S, M, L, XL sports bras.
Inspire Tights
The Greenstyle Inspire Tights are my quick go to leggings pattern when I want a pair of tights that can work as just every day leggings and also for working out. I think I go on and on about them too much, but I have to say, “These are my jam!”
I am at the very bottom of the measurement range for my size and am starting to get to the point where I should go down to the next size, but I really have no plans to. I am loving the comfort and ease right now! They are also just so perfect in this ABP!!
