Beautiful Crushed Velvet

Here are a couple suits that I made last summer for a competition in California. These suits turned out absolutely stunning! We kept the same fabric and stone design similar for both the one-piece and two-piece suits. These are made from Black stretch crushed velvet adorned with over 700 stones per suit. There are navette crystals, several different sized crystals, AB crystals and light rose stones as well.

Running Hoodie

Here is one of the running hoodies I made last week. It is made from fabric from Malden Mills, the most fantastic techincal fleece available. It is black and hot pink 4-way stretch fleece on one side with a jersey front. It has a corded hood that can tighten up against your face and keep out all the cold weather. The bottoms are 95% wind resistant tights. This is the same fabric I used last week on my long run and stayed warm...one base layer shirt, a hoodie on top and one layer wind resistant tights on bottom. 23 degrees--13 miles, warm, happy runner! I have converted most of my running friends over to the running tights and the hoodies are becoming a hot item too. Let me know what you are interested in...I specialize in custom orders.

Figure suits work in progress!

Hi! I am going to introduce you to my best sewing helper...some might call her a mannequin, but I prefer the name--Womequin. After all, she is not a man, but a woman, curves and all. She is a little dog-earred, but she works just great. She will even give you a scare if you come around the corner in the dark and see her "standing" there!

Here are a couple of the figure suits I am working on right now. One is an emerald green shatter holographic fabric with a basic triangle top design and a narrow fit high-rise bottom. The other is a red shatter holographic with a halter style top design and a rounded front with a wider/more conservative cut bottom.

After they are fitted just perfect--they will be adorned with the most beautiful swarovski rhinestones in some fantastic pattern...stone colors and design still to be decided. I will update as they come along.

Hi! I am venturing into ways to market my custom made workout gear and apparel. I have decided to name my little company, N'Gear Wear. I have always wanted workout gear that was comfortable, practical and of course, affordable. I have done lots of research and trial and error in coming up with many of my designs and clothing items. I have access to the best fabric on the market...including Malden Mills technical fabrics. I am currently selling running tights, cold weather hoodies, ear and neck warmers, cycling wind pants and cycling toe warmers. I welcome new ideas for fun gear to suit your needs as well.

Last Saturday I ran outside, yes, it's not just a passion, but also an obsession of mine...but, I ran in just 1 layer on bottom and 2 on top and I was warm. At one point, even so warm I had to let in a bit of cool air. I have lots of fabrics to chose from depending on your needs. I have wind-resistant (90% wind blockage), wicking fabrics and lots of other fabulous stuff. Why suffer the elements when the right gear will keep you warm and happy?

I also make body building suits, figure and fitness costumes. I use only the best velvets, holographics and other one of a kind fabrics and I adorn them with Swarovski stones. I must admit, my girls shine on stage. I usually get slammed this time of year as there are 2 great shows here in the Boise area in April and it's DIET time for these awesome athletes. Remember once you pick a fabric, I don't re-sell it for the year so call early to get the best picks of fabric. I'll post photos of finished projects.

So, if you are tired of paying outrageous prices for your workout gear...give me a jingle! I guarantee you will love the fit and function of all the apparel I make.

Have a great 2009 Training in whatever sports tickles your fancy!
Be safe and WARM!!
