Be a pattern tester!
As a pattern tester, you'll have exclusive access to the pattern before its release. Your task will be to sew the garment within the defined timeframe and provide valuable feedback to help identify any issues, improve the instructions, and ensure the garment is suitable for all body types.
After sewing the garment, I'll ask you to submit photos and answer some questions. The photos will only be used for analysis, but I'd be happy to share them if you authorize me to do so. The questions will cover your experience sewing the pattern, the clarity of the cutting and sewing instructions, if you encountered any issues, and how well the garment fit, among other aspects.
Upon completion of the testing, you'll receive the final pattern file as a token of appreciation for your collaboration.
Lara Active Set
Top and Leggings
Testing Period: November 18 to December 9, 2024.
Apply by: November 16.
Details about the patterns:
The Lara Active Bottoms sewing pattern is designed for versatility, making it an essential addition to your activewear collection.
With a comfortable high-waisted fit, this pattern includes three different length options to suit a variety of needs and preferences: shorts for warmer days or high-intensity workouts, a shorter legging option, and a full-length legging option.
One of the standout features of the Lara Active Bottoms is the side pocket, thoughtfully added to hold small essentials like your phone, keys, or a card, so you can stay hands-free and focused.
The Lara Active Top is a simple and comfortable sewing pattern for activewear. This fully lined top features enclosed seams, giving it a clean finish without visible stitching on the outside.
A delicate gathering at the center front adds a subtle, feminine touch, and the thin fabric straps create a light, barely-there feel. It also includes a discreet opening for removable padding, allowing you to customize the fit and support to your preference.
The elastic sits comfortably below the bust, providing light to medium support, ideal for activities such as yoga, pilates, or walking.
Supplies:
-
Stretch fabric: 4-way stretch fabric suitable for activewear, with approximately 10-20% spandex and 250-300 gsm.
-
Stretch fabric for lining: It’s recommended to use fabrics with similar stretch and a lower gsm.
-
Elastic: 0,8 cm / 1/4" wide elastic for the top.
To make these garments, you will need a sewing machine with zigzag stitches. While a serger for overlock stitches and a coverstitch machine can be helpful, they are not mandatory; a domestic sewing machine with zigzag stitches will work perfectly.
These projects are suitable for intermediate sewing levels, but the test is open to all sewing levels, including beginners.
