causticmuse said... Thanks so much for reviewing this workout skort pattern! I've had it in my stash since it came out since it looks just like the cute $50 skorts from Runningskirts.com and Title 9 (which I am WAY too cheap to buy), but I've been hesitant to try it since it's my first Jalie. I don't own a serger, but I may give this a shot soon anyway with my conventional machine. I live and workout (weights, running, inline skating, misc. gym cardio machines) in central Florida, so this is a pattern I could use year round. Heck, given how casual the dress code is at my office (we make video games), this could easily become a wardrobe staple. It seems to provide more coverage than most of my workout shorts without looking bulky, too, which is a huge plus in my book. 3/24/08 7:37 AM

jhansby said... thanks for doing this review! I just saw this pattern the other day and want to order it to make up some tennis skirts.....I'm going to order it today!! It looks great on you and I'm so glad to hear it went together well also. thanks again! 3/24/08 7:43 PM
Marie-Claude said... Thanks for this review. Your skort looks great and it suits you really well! I'm actually working on a skort (with compression shorts) at the moment. I'm at the step where you need to sew the waistband and I'm just amazed how small the waistband is - way to small for my waist, and believe me I have a waist! So to read that you have increased the waistband size comforts me... ;-) I'm off to cut the biggest size right now! 4/21/08 6:52 AM

SharonB said... Very cute skort. If anyone has tried this for a tennis skirt, please let me know. I'm wondering if you can tuck a tennis ball into the pant-leg. the pocket looks to small to hold a ball. 5/14/08 3:52 PM
