Sewing Activewear

With cooler temperatures around the corner I wanted to make some fall inspired pieces to add to my running gear with fun prints that will brighten up even the gloomiest weather. I've always been a fan of Pine Crest for my activewear fabric. Pine Crest Fabric's a wholesale stretch fabric company, but you can purchase 1-2 yards + of their Repreve® Recycled Polyester Spandex Print from Fabric.com. They offer quality fabrics, a vast product selection, and a library of amazing prints (8,000 +). I've worked with them from sewing Sportswear, Swimwear, and even launching my own athletic product (coming soon). Their new Endurance Light base fabric I'm very excited about. Not only does it print beautifully and feel great, it's sustainable. The Repreve Polyester Yarn is made out of recycled water bottles. Stay on-trend while helping save the planet! 

I made 2 sets: one with longer spin shorts which are a great transition piece for Fall.  I used the base fabric in solid black and a Vintage Floral Print (you can pick any print from their print libary). 

For the cropped leggings I used the solid Parisian Night and a water color floral print. 

Pattern: bottoms were both Simplicity 8212

Sports Bralette was from Burda Style.
