Throwing these two together because they do make a cute lounge set. However, I actually made each piece separately. I made them both from some lovely light french terry that I won in a raffle years ago from Amelia Lane Designs. I got to pick 3 yards of anything I wanted and this was my favorite. I still have about a yard left so we’ll see what I do with it! But I’ve worn these pants a ton and they’ve likewise been through the wash many many times and are still quite soft.
The top is the Greenstyle Pacific Pullover. This was a muslin for the Snowth furry vest which I mentioned in the post about that. This was the fit tester and made according to the instructions with inseam pockets, hood, and with the addition of the zipper down the front, but that also used Greenstyle’s own instructions. I believe that I did do my normal waist shortening as well. Obviously I liked both the fit and the pattern enough to move forward with the running costume. Since this isn’t super thick french terry, it’s lovely to toss on for a walk with the dogs when I just want some light sun protection.
No, I still haven’t bothered to insert a drawstring into the hood, and yes, I still need to trim some threads — but not sure if I ever will because I have no motivation to do so since I only ever wear this for me and my dogs.
The pants are the Pattern Emporium Foxy Legs Joggers which I have also talked about before. These were the same size as the previous ones — size 12 which is what I measure at for that pattern. Same pockets, but edged them differently with self-fabric instead of foldover elastic. And, of course, longer. When I made the previous ones, I just folded over the pattern piece at the short length since I thought I might want to make the longer length eventually. Since I’d made these before, they were super fast. This is definitely one of my favorite patterns.
And then here’s a view of the back. Mostly for completion’s sake, but it does show the way the hood is finished inside in the basic version — just serged down the middle seam with a facing around the edge to contain the drawstring — and it shows the back seam of the arm since the long sleeve version of the pacific pullover actually has 2-piece tailored sleeves. Great for color blocking if you’re feeling that way.
