My dh is into cycling so I can appreciate how expensive those bike shorts are RTW. Thank you so much for reviewing these! I'm happy to learn they can be made easily. 6/28/06 12:48 PM
Ronda Rae said... My DH is into cycling, too and I've wondered about this pattern and the one from Green Pepper. I'll have to try one out! 6/28/06 1:27 PM

carolhope said... I'm sorry, Luckylibbet. I do not have a photo, and, as I said in the review, they are black and would not show well anyway. I made the bike pants exactly as the pattern instructed, but changed the shape of the padding. I used 6 oz. lycra with 75% stretch, polyester thread, a universal needle, and a very narrow zig zag stitch. Any other questions? 6/29/06 1:58 PM
