Sporty Spice

Well, I wish! I do enjoy participating in a quite a few exercise based activities - Zumba, tap dancing, Pilates ....and I never feel that great in the gym wear available commercially, so I was super keen to try the Jalie pattern that quite a few of you have already made. Fabric from Gorgeous Fabrics - and this stuff is JUST FANTASTIC! It's super super soft and drapes like anything - it's light and stretchy and I love it!!

This is an excellent pattern I have only made Jalie twice before - but I am super impressed with the sizing - it fits as it should!! It was really really quick to sew up.

I extended the leg length.

They have a contrast waist and and side panels which feature a little pocket for keys / MP3 etc.



Now, this bicycle is an electric bike - we've been trialling it from Sydney Electric Bikes.They are heaps of fun to ride, then recharge, and ride again - you do have to pedal -and then the motor kicks in ... cheating? Well, better than sitting in a car I say!

  2. I'd love of these bikes, but Sydney traffic is not bike friendly. I'm as guilty as the next driver of impatience! Love your gym gear.

  3. The bike sounds neat! I don't bike much, the roads in London, and most of England for that matter are narrow and very busy, I just don't have the nerve to share the road with all those cars.

    Your workout gear looks great. Workout clothes are something I would never think to make, but I can see how having a great fit would be more comfortable and be very important when you are active.
