Greenstyle: Super G Tights

This post contains affiliate links

Greenstyle kills it with the fitness patterns and I am so thankful to be living in 2019 where we have someone designing stuff like this! I remember just a few years ago the indie scene was baron of athletic wear and the big 4 only had patterns your aunt Karen would have worn back in 1973.

Hello future. You are amazing.

This is the newest "athletic tights" pattern from Greenstyle, and to be fair, they're not even all that new. I think the Super G Tights came out early 2018. Last year was different than any other year for me, though, as I spent the majority of it pregnant. Pregnancy is not a joke, guys. It's weird and wonderful. I was so lucky to have a relatively easy one and end up with a beautiful baby girl. Do I talk about my baby enough? Do you get it? I have a kid. This is what moms do and I'm sorry, it's probably pretty obnoxious. haha I cut these out pregnancy and just now finished them. Thank god they fit! <3

I made these in size XS and they fit great! They're called the Super G's because they have a super long gusset which allows for the most advanced yoga moves and the most energetic couch potatoing. I've been wearing them for approximately 4 days. I keep meaning to take them off, but it's just not in the stars. I considered showering in them, but that was a step too far. 

The pockets are probably my favorite feature. I actually said out loud to my husband, "I have no idea why I waste my time on pockets on leggings, I NEVER USE THEM because my phone case won't fit in them." Then I followed the super clean construction of the pockets on these tights and finished them and BAM! My phone fits great and I'm so happy I wasted my time on pockets. They are the best!

I got this awesome fabric from Surge Fabric Shop. It's a Nylon ATY Circular Knit and and thick and plush without being too warm. I've tried circular knit in the past and it wasn't love, but these stay up and allow me to move easily. 10/10 will wear again. I can't decide on the next color I want! Is gray too boring? Is pink to twee? 

Anyone else have their significant other take their photos? Somehow. (and I'm not calling anyone out.) but SOMEHOW I always end up with no less than 9 or so butt pictures that I have to sort through and delete. Like, WHO IS COLLECTING THESE? -_-

These tights were constructed on my serger and I took the extra time to coverstitch all the seams that I could. I only couldn't do the back half of the gusset.... let's hope that doesn't come back to "pop me in the butt." I was using my sewing machine to attach the clear elastic when the thread kept breaking / twisting / the needle skipping stitches and then it dawned on me, use the danged coverstitch to attach the elastic. Now I'm kicking myself that I never thought of that before. What the heck is wrong with me?!

See that amazing gusset?! Also, how to women wear leggings with sneakers? It never doesn't look dumb to me. Yet, here we are.
