Where do I get my inspiration? It's
hard to say for sure, but I'm always looking for that perfect
lycra print... this one I like to wear for my "ride like
a girl" women's mountain bike rides. I used the Jalie
pattern for this one. I used print lycra for the panels, and
wicking supplex for the body. |

This is my friend Paladin with the
infamous "Liberace" jersey. This is swim lycra panels
with wicking supplex body. |
My sister and I designed this custom silkscreen
fabric and this jersey (Jalie 2216) is the result. I may
do more in the future and possibly offer them for sale.

I LOVE this wicking jersey for cool weather
riding. Fabric from OWF. If you have a serger, bike jerseys
are a super quick, rewarding way to whip something up
in an afternoon.

Cycling shell jacket is supplex, Storm Mtn.
"Golden Triangle" pattern. I changed it so there
were front napoleon pockets, and lined the collar with
microfleece. The tights are a Stretch and Sew pattern,
with 9 oz. (heavy) lycra, and there are shorts of the
same under the tights.

10 minute project. Cycle booties made of Polartec™
2000s. Use a sock pattern, cut holes for cleats and you're
done. They work great, nice and warm!! |

CE#65 in P200 for my hubby. This is such a great pattern
for fleece and other moderate stretch fabric. He wear these
every weekend skiing. I added a supplex patch pocket with
a zipper, and a Gramicci style elastic/web/tab buckle waist
band.
|
I found the socks first, and then I found
the lycra print on the flat fold table at a chain store.
The grey wicking lycra came from Outdoor Threads and was
a gift from a sewing & biking pal of mine. Update: some
recently gave me a HELMET that matches... Look out!!!

This is a cozy microfleece (P100 Chamois) using Kwik Sew 2436.
It's a great base layer. I am planning on making some more
of these using Powerdry or other wicking fabrics |
This bike jersey is made from some really nice Capilene
I got from OWF. The pattern is Jalie #2216. Jalie is a Canadian
pattern company.The materials cost less than $10, plus a
few hours of my time.

This is the "guaranteed to scare wildlife"
bike jersey, Green Pepper #401 made of wicking supplex
from Seattle Fabrics and swimsuit lycra from Peak
Fabrics.
