More matching patterns to fabric for my Winter Running Wardrobe

 I gave a general outline of what I planned to make in a previous post. And I've completed (and been happily wearing) my running vest. I've picked up some fabrics and patterns in sales so I have a bit of an update. (None of these are affiliate links. I'll say which I have experience with)

Outer Jacket

Pattern

Styla Kodiak

Fabric

Discovery Fabrics Adventure Stretch Woven

 

Notes

I plan to make the hood and make the top of the back vented with mesh underneath. There are instructions in Sewing Outdoor Gear that I'll use. I might also make the cuff adjustable and if I get fancy, make it so the hood can fold away

Warm Tights

Pattern

Greenstyle Spark, Stride, or Cavallo

Fabric

Polartec Power Stretch Pro (this color shown and the cabernet)

Notes

All of these patterns require 75% stretch, however, and I'm fairly certain this has only 50% (it finally shipped so hopefully I'll know soon). Instead of using a pattern I don't know, I plan to size up. Feedback from others who have used this fabric for tights is mixed. Several have not sized up. It's easier to take them in than add a gusset.

Base Layers (medium)

Pattern

Greenstyle Pacific Pullover

 

Fabric

I already showed the one fabric. The second fabric is from Hobby Fabrics and it's a light powerwool

Notes

I plan to add the Patterns for Pirates Go-To Jacket's cuff or their free fingerless gloves and then hem part of the sleeve seam as a watch port.

This, from Oiselle, is what I'm going for: 

Base Layers (lighter)

Pattern

Apostrophe My Fit Raglan, Rad CYOA Slim, Cashmerette Stanway Raglan, Love Notions Rockford Raglan

Fabric

Merino Jersey from Hobby Fabric

 

Notes

I want something semi-fitted. Not so loose that it gets in the way but also not tight. I'm thinking of raglan sleeves but I'm not sure. If I make the Stanway, I'll need to lengthen the sleeves by inches (are they meant to be 3/4 length?) and make the neck hole smaller. The Rad CYOA is discontinued and set in sleeves but I know it works well for me. The Apostrophe is supposed to be amazing, but I haven't made anything with it yet and getting the measurements right is daunting. It's been a while since I made the Rockford, but it flares out quite a bit and the neck is pretty wide.

Summary

So that's where I am so far. I will likely make another slouchy beanie because they take almost no time and it's nice to be able to wash them frequently. Next will probably be the warm tights and one of the Pacific Pullovers.  I'm balancing how much I need the pieces with how long they will take including pattern modifications and maybe practice versions since these fabrics are more expensive than I usually use. I'll report back!
