sew my own?

[Ellen 06]

I've been looking online for bike shorts patters and fabrics. I haven't found much for chamais, either material or patterns.

Any good sources/patterns. Things to avoid?

Thanks,
Ellen

Oh, man, there's a woman on both TE and on Bikejournal.com who sews a lot of her own stuff. I'll search around and see if I can find her for you.

I sent you a PM.

It's our very own Irulan here.

I used to know a really nice woman on the mtbr.com java chat program thingie (I'm talking like 6 years ago) who made her own mtb baggies. She had this little template with all the panels on the shorts outlined and with color swatches, and you could design your shorts, send her your measurements and she'd sew them for you. I can't recall her name, all I know is she was a nurse. Don't know if she still makes shorts, but maybe someone here would like to do something like that? I now wish I had ordered some, but back then all I did was take lots of spinning classes and dream about trying some real biking.
