The lower half of a person who is wearing athletic tights or leggings. The tights are royal blue, with a large scoop-shaped area from waist to mid-thigh that is printed in multicolored blue and gold marbling, and scoop-shaped areas on the insides of both calves that are printed in the same blue and gold marbling.


Turns out if you use 245 or 265 gsm fabric, you can make tights that keep your legs warm even while bicycling in 47 degrees* and a prevailing wind of 15-25 mph. Pattern is Tempo, from Greenstyle Patterns; fabric is US-milled yoga Repreve in Melted Gold and solid blue athletic knit Repreve, from Sew Dynamic Fabrics.

(When I ran the poll about what to make in iridescent silver and red sparkle, this pattern is what I meant by big scoopy areas. I have actually made the silver pants in a different pattern but will get a picture later, once I have finished some other items as well.)


*For my readers in the civilized countries: 8.3 degrees Celsius
