Selfmade cycling trousers and rain jacket
Selfmade cycling trousers and rain jacket
Second try after the first one had a failed media upload
Jacket design is the UL windbreaker from learnmyog, the trousers are knickerbockers called Cornelius from freesewing.org.
Jacket is made from 3 component hardshell with 20000mm water resistance, the trousers are made from an old IKEA curtain :)
Jacket also uses reflective garn on the decorative seams around the zipper and shoulders, adding some extra visibility. It's a hazzle to sew with (rips all the time) but if you get it right it looks really nice.

I find it unfortunate that one has to pay for the pattern [1], but I nevertheless think this is a cool idea for a store.

I'm fine with paying for patterns, tbh having the direct comparison to freesewing.org, I appreciate the detail and thoroughness people put into the instructions on good store-bought patterns.
But the price at learnmyog is far beyond what I usually pay. The 4€ for a pattern at pattydoo are absolutely OK for me compared to the 20$ at learnmyog...

Wow Ikea curtain!? Nicee.. bravo
Turns out it's an amazing fabric. Either hanf or linen, very good air circulation and cool on the skin on hot summer days, also pretty soft. I think I got 2 curtains with 2,4m x 1,4m for 15€ back then and already cut a pair of pleat-front trousers from the rest of it
Whoa, cool! Can we see a close up of the jacket? It looks really well made!
Sure :)
That looks amazing. Great job!
Thank you :) I'm pretty pleased with it. Only caveat is that the tape I used to seal the seams was the wrong one and won't really stick to the fabric. But new one is already ordered and will hopefully do the trick.
Looks great! 👍😀
