Get ready for Episode 2 - the contestants are tackling activewear.
Anyone got any pattern recommendations for activewear or athleisure?

The only thing I've made with active wear fabrics is a swimming costume. I made the Indigo swimsuit which was an all in one piece with a keyhole feature on the back.
It was definitely a challenge, but the active wear fabrics are very bright. You can see me from miles off! Lol 😂😂

many years ago, an Australian comedy group called Skitbox did an activewear at the start of the show I was mentally humming along with things like "I'm making a cap in my activewear"
I've put the link below it's just for fun,

I loved Orlas outfit in the final challenge! I'd like to make the type of leggings that the yoga outfits had. The idea still terrifies me (short insideleg, large bum etc) but they look so comfy!
