DIY - Jogger pants

美女们好：

美女妹妹们你们跑步么？现在跑步风愈演愈烈，我周围的朋友都在跑，最近认识一个朋友说，他们的微信群上百人，进入微信群只有一个标准–跑过半马。住在高冷的博士屯，所有的酷美女每天不是在跑步，就是在边听npr遍跑步，跑完再去whole food吃个Quinoa and kale沙拉。

最好姐现年膝盖不好，几年都不跑了。最好姐曾经的名言是，除非逃命绝不跑步。不跑归不跑，最好姐也一心想酷一酷，所以一直喜欢穿些色彩鲜艳的运动服，假装去跑步。

言归正传上周去逛布店毅力不坚定，又请回来6块新布。剁手之余把家里的布过了一下，实在太多库存了。 下决心赶紧努力消耗些。所以周末选了去年请的一块花silk knit, 做一件跑步裤。

pattern用的是这个simplicity 8268. 做了小号。

The pattern is Simplicity 8268. By measurement I am between S and M. I made Small based on my fabric is stretchy. It turned out to be the right decision.  Waist casing from the pattern is tiny big. After I added waist elastic band it turned out perfect. I used my serger for most of the work, and then cover stitch to double stitch the seams for a nice and clean finish.

假装去跑步啦！

Thank you and have  a fantastic day.

Hi, my beautiful lovelies:

First of all, I am not a jogger (blush blush). I have barely ran for the past few years. I have famously claimed that I don’t run unless to survival,  in the rare case that I have to outrun others in order not to be eaten by a bear.

I am also in love of jogger pants’ casual and loose style. When I am home or running errands, I’d love to wear something soft, light and a little slouchy. Besides, I always love to pretend I run because to be a real cool Bostonian, you will have to run a half marathon very other week while listening to NPR, then afterward eat a Quinoa and kale salad. I’d like to look like a real cool Bostonian from time to time.

I took out the silk knits fabric from my stash. I got it from my local fabric store last year. The fabric is very thin and soft. I hesitated for a moment whether it is appropriate to use such luxury and  soft fabric for sportswear purpose. Oh hell I want to wear a pair of soft and slouchy pants when I lounge at my living room. I will make it because I can. That sealed the deal. I bought the ribbing fabric from Joann’s last week just to make the joggers pants.

The pattern is Simplicity 8268. By measurement I am between S and M. I made Small based on my fabric is stretchy. It turned out to be the right decision.  Waist casing from the pattern is tiny big. After I added waist elastic band it turned out perfect. I used my serger for most of the work, and then cover stitch to double stitch the seams for a nice and clean finish.

Show off how I would wear it in my living room, so nice and comfy:

Thank you and have  a fantastic day.
