Greenstyle Creations Fabrics

Have you heard the news? Greenstyle Creations now sells fabric that is perfect for their patterns. Angelyn, the designer, sent me a box of the new offerings to try out. My sweet friend Sharon (Sweet Mama Life), also sent me home with several fabrics when I visited her recently. I finally finished sewing it all up and plan to give it all a test in the gym.

I love green - it's my favorite color. I received this Jade Tricot and loved the color. Angelyn sent me a few fabrics that I probably would have never considered buying. One of those being this Powerflex Highlighter Explosion.

It is so loud and bright! Now I know some of you are thinking - Aimee, you love loud & bright prints. Yes I do, but this is a bit on the pastel side and just not something I would have been drawn to.

That said - I absolutely love this base! It feels so good on. And I have to say this print looks great as leggings to work out in.

I made the Express Tank and Stride Leggings. The Express Tank lives up to its name. You can make one from printing to wearing in 10 minutes - probably less. You only need to sew the shoulder seams - hemming is completely optional when using a knit like this.

I used the Jade Tricot for my Express Tank. Which you might be wondering - what is Tricot. Tricot is just a fancy name for a swim knit. Swim knits are great for so many things other than swimsuits. Giving it a name like Tricot helps people see past swim and consider using the fabric for other uses.

Angelyn also sent me this Blue Grey Abstract print. It is on a Yoga Flex base. If you are familiar with Zenith & Quasar YSS - this is very similar.

I love this base and again - not a print I would typically pick. Only because it has pink and has a camo feel. And again - I think it looks great for workout leggings.

I needed a tank to match my new leggings, so I grabbed the silver light ABP from Zenith & Quasar to whip up another Express Tank. Don't look too close - I put the Express Tank on inside out!

I did a reverse coverstitch on my Strides with Navy thread and love how it looks!

Sharon gave me this Pink Vibrations print on the Dritex base. I personally am not a fan of this base. I love the print, but this base feels so tight and compressive on.

This base also shows a bit of white when stretched as evidenced by my behind. I am still committed to wear these for a workout. I might have to put them in timeout though until I lose a bit of weight.

I did reverse coverstitch on this pair of strides as well and used a bright pink.

I love that the Jade Tricot Express Tank matches this print too.

I also got a few different colors and types of supplex. Since I already have a few pairs of supplex leggings, I decided to make a Lille Tank and the Chelsea Pants with the red and black deluxe supplex.

My Chelsea Pants can out a tiny bit too long. Since we are heading into fall, I think I'll leave the extra length since I'll probably wear these with boots and shoes with a thicker sole. My flip flops are pretty flat and not something I'd typically wear with them.

I love the Lille Tank. I can wear it to work out in, and it also looks great under a jacket or cardigan to wear to work. I might actually wear this outfit to work with a denim blazer thrown on top - and wear some boots.

This red color was so hard to capture. The red sensor on my camera was blown out from it's brightness in these photos. It took some photoshop magic to calm it down.

I love the Everyday Yoga Pants! I have already made probably a dozen pairs and am sure to make a dozen more. I couldn't resist making a pair with this bold blue deluxe supplex.

These look so good with my Lille Tank I made last month.

I love this bold blue color and will be wearing these Everyday Yoga Pants a lot.
