New Collection - The Cora Running Tights

Last year, a customer made a special request for stretch breeches. We really liked the idea of pants without an inseam. After looking at many breeches in specialized stores, we realized customers would have a hard time finding the right fabric for them. We decided to keep the idea of a no-inseam pants, and took it to the next level.

Fabrics RUB695 + MF 5001 from FunkiFabrics
We used lycra and as soon as I put on the first prototype last summer, we knew we were on the right track! A few pairs later, we came up with the back pocket idea. A wonderful, magical pocket that keeps your phone (of your favorite little music machine) in place. No bouncing. I even tried with a key. It didn't move around.

It fits an iPhone perfectly (adult sizes) and Henri wanted me to tell you that in kids size, the pocket is perfect for storing Pokemon cards :)

Practical Pocket at the Back

Many of you already know Dawn,  the blogger from Two On Two Off. She is a long-time fan who sews, blogs, teaches AND runs (she also tested many patterns in this collection). We named this pattern after Cora, one of her twins who has already started running like her mom :)

What makes this pattern so special is the funky seaming that allows you to play with color blocking, totally transforming the style every time. We included a biker short version that has a thigh band, which stays in place better than the usual hem.

We hope those of you who were looking for expensive-looking running tights will be happy that you can now make them yourselves without breaking the bank.

Don't throw away your fabric scraps! You really don't need much fabric to make mini leggings for your little ones!
