Greenstyle Creations Fit Capsule Challenge 2019



Fit(ness) capsule challenge in the Greenstyle Creations Facebook group just ended. We had 1 month to sew at least 3 coordinating pieces of workout clothing.


Super G capris with color blocking from Strides pattern, Solo tank, and Power Sports Bra (bra made before official start of challenge). Galaxy print swim fabric and purple burnout jersey from Cali Fabrics. Supplex from Fabric Fairy. This is a lighter weight very stretchy Supplex. The Solo tank came out perfectly...this was my first time doing binding. My coverstich machine handled the Solo binding and the decorative stitching on the capris really well.


More Strides/Super G mash up capris (this time with pockets), petal back Xpress tank, No Show Thong. Supplex from Phee. This is a much heavier Supplex. YSS print accent from Zenith & Quasar. Circular knit from Phee for tank and thong. This is a light weight circular knit and I had some problems hemming it. Like, a lot of problems. My coverstich machine hated going over the shoulder seams. I finally figured out something that worked passably well (wonder tape, snip & clip, adjusting stitch length, using a stack of Post-It notes as a hump jumper). If I ever make another, it will be in ABP or another fabric that is less slinky than this light circular knit.

Saying Goodbye

Yum Yum 6/18/93 - 10/31/08 I am very saddened to tell you that our beloved cat was euthanized yesterday. She was much sicker than we knew. I had her checked into the hospital to try to help her get over a respiratory infection and start eating again. Her vet discovered advanced intestinal cancer on an ultrasound. This is difficult for me because I'd be prepared to do anything to help her, but it was just too late. She had a really good life of 15 years with me, and I think she had a good death. She already had an IV line, so it was quick and peaceful. She was an extremely loving cat, and we miss her very much. It is difficult for us because Yum Yum's situation was so similar to that of Bryan's mom, who passed away in 2007. Unfortunately, we could not spare her from suffering as we did Yum Yum. Anyway, you can see more pictures of Yum Yum here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/buxtrosion/sets/72157608568334063/

Sean wanted to be Ash, specifically from the Kalos seasons of the anime. Shirt is a modified Zippy Jacket from Blank Slate Patterns. I added white HTV to a hat with a mini iron, and I bought solid red and black fingerless gloves from Amazon and chopped and reassembled them. He won 2nd place in the kids cosplay contest at the library comic- con! Kids raglan in Knitorious "marvelous evolutions" panel and print. I absolutely love this print! Mew as Spider Gwen is so cute!
