Here's the final Saturday afternoon line dance in the street, and the funny thing is that I talked to half the people in the picture at some point or another, including the kid in the hoodie, who's Drew. Yes, he actually brought his girlfriend up to Lafitte's to join in the dancing with me - maybe I'm a little cool after all!
On to the Jalie Cora running shorts....which are decidely uncool per Lucas. He was completely correct that they are way too tight, despite the fact that I went up a size. I think the problem is that the Dri-fit has less stretch than my previous fabric.
Dean thinks the pink accents make me look like I'm trying out for a girls' dance team. This is actually the same pink fabric I used in my one-piece swimsuit a few months back.
I went ahead and wore them for a 20-minute run and had no problems and no burst seams, even though I heard about 30 stitches pop when I put them on. Hey Tracey, what's your hip measurement now? If it's less than 40 inches you can have these!
So I have plenty of Dri-fit fabric left for longer running tights, and maybe I'll try to find a more subtle print for the waistband, calves, and pocket, because solid gray is just too boring for me. I may have to buy another pattern, though, because I cut this one originally for the smaller size, then added tissue paper to make this larger size, which is STILL too small....mabe there's something to this tracing of patterns after all!
