New Athletic Set - ALD fabrics

 Every month, Amelia Lane Designs is featuring a new fabric of the month. The featured fabric type is discounted throughout the entire month! It's so nice if your favorite fabric type is featured or one that you've just been wanting to try. 

This month, the featured fabric is Athletics! I LOVE the athletics from ALD! And, the best part is, every time I make something new from athletics, I get motivated to move and exercise!

This Set: 

For the top, I used a fabric called "Sportivo." This is a nylon/ spandex blend. It can be used for athletic tops, sports bras, and even swimwear. I LOVE this fabric! 


For this top, I used the Marin from Sew A Little Seam. This is a swim pattern. I planned to sew a crop top version with this for an exercise tank, but when I finished, I decided to add a peplum... because I think it's fun! I did decide to add a few inches to the length of the peplum. I really like to feel covered (especially for swimwear). 

I made this pattern as swim wear a couple of times over the summer, so I already knew I love the pattern. I blogged on these sets here.

For this top, I used the ALD cups, swim lining, power mesh, and elastic in the built in bra. It is actually very supportive. I can definitely use it comfortably for exercise. 

I love this top because I can use it for exercise right now, and this summer, I can wear it to the beach or pool! 

For the bottoms, I used a fabric called "Tactel." The color is "Purple Cactus Flower." It is so bright and pretty. I just LOVE this fabric so much! It is 245gsm making it the perfect weight for bottoms, leggings, and sports bras. This is also a nylon/ spandex blend, but is not swim friendly.


I used the Sinclair Penny Leggings Pattern. I love Sinclair Patterns. Every one of them fits me so well that I need minimal adjustments. These are a very easy, quick sew. I have several pairs of Penny's and they are definitely always favorites. A really nice feature of this pattern (and all other Sinclair Patterns) is that each pattern is drafted three times for different heights. You can choose whether you need the petite size, regular size, or tall size. You get all of these options in EVERY pattern you buy, making it a super value! You won't have to spend your time adjusting your length - you'll be ready to just start sewing!

Now For the Silliness 🤣

When my sister took these pictures for me, after we were about finished, I started showing out a little... mainly for her benefit. Then she said, "Do that again!" And some of these things happened. 😲

A Jump!



So obviously the athleticwear holds up to doing... whatever that was 😜 

But it is also the greatest for being comfy at home too!

So... Don't forget about the Athletic Sale! It is on through the END of January (2021). It's a great time to stock up for your future athletic sews!

It also has a couple of lengths - for the hemband to sit on the waist or the hips.  Both versions can be made with several necklines- three different rounded necklines, a v neckline, or a squared neckline. They both have several options for sleeve lengths or two choices for sle...

January Releases from Amelia Lane Designs

I always get so excited about new fabric releases from Amelia Lane Designs. Frequently, they give me the opportunity to sew something I might not otherwise and try something new. I have learned a lot sewing for them, like how to sew swim and athletic wear. But I've also learned that I actually LIKE wearing fun prints and designs that I haven't always worn.  ** Disclosure: I have included affiliate links to patterns used in this post. If you choose to purchase a pattern using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** For this release, I tried something that is really not me - this fun animal print! There have been a few releases recently with fun animal-print fabrics, and I have not sewn any of them, because I thought I wouldn't like wearing them. But after seeing some of the other sewists in the ALD Facebook Group sharing their makes, I knew I HAD to try it! I am really glad I did. This dress makes me so happy! This fabric is a d...
