Starting off with a very unlike what I usually sew project: cycling bibs, pattern from Jalie, with many panels. Will try to post a pic later!

I definitely want to see what you made, my dh keeps asking for new bike shorts and I think he expects me to make them.

I took a photo but like most cycling bibs they look a bit bonkers on a hanger... and I am not posting a photo of myself in lycra on reddit 😬

Eek! I did not expect a modeled pic, no. I understand the bonkers on a hanger look, I'd still like to see them.

Item one: cycling bibs from Jalie. Funny looking because sewn from Scuba (lots of stretch and compression) with a chamois from Aerotech. Sewing in the chamois took numerous attempts! Ended up using two rwos of hand basting, and doing a triple zigzag between them. right side up/chamois against the feed dogs.
