I finished four more skorts for tennis. These are all made from the pattern I made from my favorite Nike skort. They are so super comfortable! Whenever I put on things I got from the store, I regret it because they are never as comfortable as what I made from this pattern.
This first one was one I had cut out over the summer. The fabric was a thin brushed poly, and the print on it would be best for pajamas. But in the end, I figured what the heck, why not sew them up. And I do wear them, they're comfy, and what do I care if they look like PJs?

PJs
For these next three I got the fabrics online after searching for some that I hoped were more "performance" grade. They are, although one I call Tropical Foliage is more suitable for swimwear.

Tropical Foliage
Lots of women are showing up on the courts with these cute surplice skirts. I tried to make one using my Nike pattern. It turned out so-so. I'll still wear it, of course.
Surplice Flowers
I played in Surplice Flowers and I didn't like how the inside panel hung so low, especially with a ball in my shorts. So I undid the binding a bit, curved the corner removing a 3-inch bit of it, and sewed the binding back on. Looks better.
This is one I made after finding this fabric in a my stash. I had bought it at least 5 years ago for a swimsuit. I realized I am never making a stupid swimsuit. The only time I like submerging myself in a pool or ocean is when it's above 90 degrees and the water is warm. A store-bought suit can suffice for such rare occurrences.
