camwynSewing projects accomplished so far this year:
Two pairs of Greenstyle Creations' Tempo athletic tights
One pair of cloned men's shorts (original shorts: some kind of cotton twill, manufacturer unknown, all tags unreadable, holes worn through legs in several places to the point of near disintegration; I dissected virtually all the seams so I could trace the pieces on Swedish Tracing Paper and replicate the shorts in new fabric, with fewer pockets because the recipient never uses his back pockets)
One Greenstyle No Show Thong
One pair of Greenstyle No Show Briefs
Probably going to work up two more of the brief pattern today as there are several rise/waistband variations, and the pattern is genuinely stupidly fast to work up. I'm mostly looking to have underthings that work okay under close-fitting leggings or athletic tights rather than all-day underthings.
I'm trying to get at least something sewing-related done each day even if it's only tracing pattern pieces and cutting them out (I like to leave patterns intact and work from STP templates or similar rather than the original paper). Debating whether I want to get out the one exception to that, the cargo shorts pattern I made this past summer, where I cut the original paper pieces. That pattern was workable both as shorts and as full length cargo pants. I kept the leg bits and I think I have enough chino twill here to make a pair of pants, the thing is that to ensure fitting I'd have to do up a muslin first and I do not feel like wrestling with the eight yard length of muslin I have on hand just now. Might see about a different legging design for which I have a pattern but have not yet cut out the STP templates. They're only bike-shorts length and it might not be terrible to have something shorter for when it gets warm.
