Jalie 3022 Yoga (or Swim) Shorts and Jalie 3131 Soft Bra

6/2/2016

After seeing the cute versions of Jalie 3022 Yoga Shorts, Dawn of Two On Two Off made with sweet little mods, I felt compeled to make a shorts version of the yoga pants, or in my case, likely to be Swim Shorts TOO!
Picture
I thought some tropical print lycra was in order for a pair of swim/yoga shorts. And... a little bit of purple sparkle. ;)

After some wardrobe malfunctions (read: seams popping in the bum and crotch area), I always top-stitch every seam on fitted leggings or high stretch garments. I love my triple stitch zig zag stretchability. 
Picture
While I do love the look of the shorts as designed, I cropped a couple inches out of the crotch area which affected the inner leg seam length (whoops!), Also, due to the shape of my leg, the leg of the shorts rides straight up and puddles around the smallest part of my thighs (where they attach to my hips). So... I added a cuff.

And... voila! 

​Side view with cuff both out of and in the water.

And the back view.  You can see the inner leg ride up a little.  You can also see that I'm quite narrow in the waste and quite round in the bum. Next time, I may add to the CB pieces where they attach to the side back and take out some from the side back so that I get a straighter look. Or I may take some out of the center back to side attachment so it aligns with the center of my legs.

I might also add that I wore my Jalie 3131 soft bra (in black and white and greenish polka dots) all day while at the beach and it was SUPER comfy.  I wasn't crazy active other than walking and wading through the water. It would be fun to have a matching soft bra for this fabric. ​
