Wow what can I say, J K Jersey fabrics have got a winner with this round of custom fabrics!
It is my youngest boys turn to have something made up for him and him being him wanted everything! Leggings, t-shirt, pants and whatever else I could get out of it.
In the end he had Zane Leggings (pdf from Elliedactyl) and a long sleeved t-shirt using applique templates to reflect the fabric design.
Fabric pre wash
Fabric post wash, minimal colour loss, colour catcher is next to it and just has a very slight grey hue. Minimal shrinkage, just a few mm.
Fabric is soft and easy to work with. The recipient LOVED the design at first sight and wants to wear top and leggings all together all the time.
First up are the Elliedactyl Zane Joggers, he loves the slim fit but not the harem crotch so much so I redraft them for him so it's not so baggy - he doesn't do baggy, at 8 years old he will wear 5/6 year old jeans so they are spray on tight!
Plain black cuffs and yoga waistband tone down the rainbow of colour, with the large swoop rainbow stars at the front and rainbow stripes at the back. A perfect pattern to use up odd size scraps.
Next the t-shirt, this is a basic t-shirt with standard sleeves, I've used black for the body pieces then the sleeves are the rainbow drops with black cuffs. The applique (how much of a pain in the arse is knit to knit applique when you can find your fabric stabiliser!) reflects the shape of the rainbow drops, I had one at first but it looked too much like an apostrophe so I did 2 positioned nesting into each other and now it reminds me of the ying yang symbol.
More pictures of the clothes in action.
Next up with what is left is a pair of boxer pants for the eldest as apparently he doesn't have enough pairs?! I'll add the photo's when they are finished.
Photos are unedited taken in natural late afternoon light.

| A windy afternoon for a photo shoot but at least it was dry. |

| Rubbing chamomile to see what it smelt like |

| I think there was a little creature trying to escape here! |

| We have had a crop of Horse Mushrooms pop up in our field, they were very tasty cooked in buttery garlic on toast. |

| The 4way stretch makes this fabric perfect for running in! |
