I've been using the P4P free leggings pattern to start making riding tights for myself, they work brilliantly and I actually haven't had any problems with rubbing yet but as I do endurance (riding 8+ hours at speed) I'd really like to take away the possibility entirely.
Theres a few patterns from Greenstyle and Fehrtrade I've seen that have moved or absent inseams but they also have either no pockets or only a waistband pocket which is no good! I need big, easy to reach pockets I can get things into one handed and they have to be on a squishy bit of my body so if I hit the deck I get a big car key shaped bruise on my thigh or something rather than a cracked coccyx :P
Please tell me theres either a ready made suitable pattern, or good instructions on how to change one to fit my needs! I've had a pretty good search already, but I'm sure I've missed a few independent pattern makers or blogs or something.
I’m thinking of obviously using a lycra/spandex cotton fabric so if anyone could link me to some fabric choices I’d be grateful (preferably from Joanns if possible).
