Greenstyle Creations has JUST released the Super G Tights!
The Super Gs are comfort, performance, style, and function all wrapped up in one PERFECT legging pattern. From the innovative side pocket to the comfortable center gusset and compression fit, you have found your new favorite leggings pattern.
"They stay up, even with my heavy phone in my pocket weighing them down! lol"
"They fit amazing... and then they went and added POCKETS!! That's it! Take my money!"
"Ingenious pocket design"
"Super G - comfort PLUS! You can wear these on a long (or short) run and forget that you are wearing anything! For a crossfit workout, these tights MOVE with you - not against you! Super G is one of the best tights I've ever experienced (and yes, I've tried a LOT)!!"
"I love how easily the pockets come together - no fuss construction method. With the side pocket pieces and gusset, it's easy to add pops of color without having to modify pattern pieces to color block."
"I love how the contoured waistband fits like a glove: all the right compression with none of the uncomfortable squeeze. The perfect balance of form and function."
"lulu who?! I can make that!"
"Sleek and smoothing in all sizes. The unique gusset aims at providing super comfort and premier style."
"Whilst I appreciate the functionality of a gusset I don’t really like the look of the regular diamond shaped ones. But the ingenious design of The Super G’s means that the gusset is disguised as a style line and is actually a feature of your tights."
"The waistband stays UP! For long runs or a million burpees. Plus, the pockets are perfect for stashing a phone or a granola bar. "
"Yoga, jogging, riding bikes or exercising with a ball
Big, tall, short, small Super G’s design will fit us all!!!"
"Omg!! I can’t take these off they feel so good!! I wore a pair yesterday to yoga and a pair today on my bike ride in the rain. Most comfortable workout pants I’ve ever worn!!"
"I love the compression fit of the SuperGs. I also love the options- high or mid-rise, pockets or no side seam."
View A - Omits the pocket and side seam for simple, quick construction. View A is perfect to use when you have a fun or gorgeous print you don't want broken up.
View B - Perfect for color blocking and using some athletic power mesh! The construction of the pockets is so cool and fun! And a bonus - the pockets are big enough for the larger smart phones!

Comparison of Mid-Rise and High Rise Options
The image on the left is size small, mid-rise. The image on the right is size medium, high rise. **Note - the stretchier your fabric is (especially vertical) the higher the rise will seem.
I'm going to end with my favorite pictures from the testing! It pretty much encompasses how I feel about testing and our amazing team.
Photos and sewing by Courtney Wandell (middle) and Amanda Savoie (far right) So amazing!
These photos remind of this quote:
And speaking of this quote.... I want to thank the Super G Greenstyle Testing group! We had an amazing group of women! The testing process takes time, patience, openness, dedication, and of course fabric:) We appreciate all of the input that is given to help perfect a pattern.
Zenith and Quasar, the sponsor of the Super Gs, is having a limited time offer of 1.5 yard cuts of heavy supplex. This yardage is perfect for every size of the Super Gs and supplex is my go to athletic fabric. It has the soft, matte feeling of cotton, but the wicking ability and stretch/recovery of top of the line athletic fabric. It's amazing stuff!!
Grab the Super G pattern and some Zenith and Quasar Supplex and then make sure to post your Super Gs in the Greenstyle Creations Facebook group! The Greenstyle Facebook group is a great group to ask any and all questions, to find endless inspiration, and to share your passion of sewing!

Are these held up by an elastic band or by a draw string?
Just making up my first pair of Super G’s – and I’ve added 1 1/2” to each seam because my measurements are bigger than 3XL (altho here in Australia I usually buy between 2XL and 3XL in most clothing – I think I’m a US 16-18 according to a pair of Running Bare leggings I bought). My issue is the gusset is sitting weird – not sure how I should have enlarged it to accommodate the extra width I added in. Kind regards, Mandy
