See what our talented sewists were inspired to make!
Today's theme seems to be sharing is caring!
So many sewists sharing the athletic love with family!
Athletics for every activity level
Athletics are a variety of fabrics, each varies in its contents (check the listing) but are grouped together because they're well suited for whatever kind of workout your day brings you.
Nylon content makes these fabrics moisture whisking, polyester makes them soft, spandex makes them stretchy and cotton makes them breathable. Check the specific product listing for the content breakdown. Information about UPF rating is also included for each fabric!
Each fabric weight is also listed. Heavier fabrics will be stronger to sew something more compressible (with more negative ease, meaning it's actually smaller than you and designed to stretch when you put it on, like leggings) while lighter fabrics make for cool tops, swim wear, light hoodies, etc.
Amelia Lane Designs created this handy info sheet to help understand all the fabric bases!
Coordinating colors for more combinations
ALD strives to source fabrics that coordinate so that as you make pieces they'll naturally coordinate with each other.
In keeping that balance, this stocking includes a FIVE new prints that coordinate perfectly with the existing available athletics fabrics from Amelia Lane Designs!
Build your ultimate athletics capsule by pinning the fabrics you would love to pair to a Pinterest board! The product listings have a handy "Pin It" button!
MAJESTIC
Shakita self drafted this skirt of tropical dreams in majestic!
Melissa self drafted this top for her little and used the MyFit leggings for the bottoms! Love how she strikes a pose in these colors!
Christine used the free Bonny Leggings pattern from Made for Mermaids in Majestic, paired with Raspberry Jersey Moss for the top. The top is the Violet Field Threads Tatum dress modified to a top. Such a serious little yogi! Great form!
Sonia used the Apostrophe Patterns MyFit leggings and Evie La Love Bra pattern to make her Majestic look!
DENALI
#CoupleGoals once again! AnnMarie made this set - a mash of Rad ‘body confidence (top) with ‘Molly’ bottom to make a swimsuit/bodysuit for herself and Ellie and Mac ‘Sunset dreams dress’ as a skirt for her wife!
Michael used the High Hopes Dolman by Ellie and Mac for Denali and paired with Ellie and Mac Urban Legs in Orange Pop tactel! These two fabrics go surprisingly well! I think I need to copy this ASAP!
Jan made the Apostrophe MyFit leggings in Denali for herself. These are perfect for pretty much anything her day can throw at her!
Heather made the Boo! Designs Free Bralette pattern in Denali. I think it's going over pretty well! Matching Apostrophe MyFit shorts too!
She even had enough to make herself a George and Ginger Groove Tank! Check out that keyhole! Go Heather!
Sarah made leggings for her and her sister! Matching but not too matching! Denali goes so well with all sorts of coordinates!
VENUS
Keri used Venus for a George and Ginger Mix It up Peplum paired with Apostrophe MyFit Leggings in black Dri Tex. Such a good idea! This outfit could do anything!
Clay struggles with chlorine and needs a supersuit that is super amazingly cool but also with good coverage. I am pretty sure venus is winning at it all! This is the Ellie and Mac rashguard and leggings that Jan self-drafted for the occasion.
Jill used the Petite Stitchery Waverly shorts to pair with this sports bra in Venus and Orange Pop. Gosh does this outfit pop! Welcome Jill, I like your style!!
Diane used raspberry jersey moss with Venus and made herself a pair of Apostrophe MyFit leggings! This pattern is super popular because it fits everyone! Babies, adults, all sizes! Just enter your measurements and get the instantly perfect custom fit. There's a coupon code for a discount on it as part of the Bingo event in the ALD Facebook group too!
Sarah shared the Venus love with her sister and made this leggings and bra set. So generous!
BERMUDA
Gwen shared Bermuda with her sister and made these Bella Sunshine leggings. Perfect scooting leggings! I think she's going to put them to a real test!
Bermuda fabric goes the distance! These photos coming to you all the way from Spain! Steffani made this outfit with the Triple Play tank by Pickle Toes patterns, hacked to have a hood and the Max and Meena parachute pants. What a great vacation outfit! Cool for hot summer temps and cool for excellent style!
Awww more athletic love! Emily's boys are wearing shorts from Grayson liverpool along with cobalt athletic brushed poly and Bermuda raglans! Daddy's is the 5oo4 Ryan Raglan and Lawrance's is the Duck Butt Designs Treasure Pocket Tee.
Sonia used Bermuda to make this really cool, super unique outfit! She used the Apostrophe Patterns MyFit leggings and Evie La Love Bra pattern to make her look!
Kendel was busy making dreams come true for her family's latest beach trip! Her husband has an Ivy tricot Annelaine Sawyer sleeveless with 5oo4 Swim Trunks in Bermuda. Charlie has a Boo! Designs free sports bra with Annelaine Poppy Bottoms and a Violet Fields Threads Leilani Mermaid skirt.
ARBOR
After all that sharing I'm glad Kendel is keeping something for herself! Apostrophe MyFit leggings, Ellie and Mac Ruched Tee and a 5oo4 Agility Sports Bra! Arbor with pewter tricot! Based on the reactions I've already overheard to this outfit... there will be like three identical shared in the ALD group in the next couple of weeks. We're all just like "add to cart, k thanks!"
