In this video I’m testing something a little different: Supplex for menswear. I sewed a men’s athletic top using McCalls 7486 and a navy performance knit from Our Social Fabric in Vancouver. They’re a nonprofit that rescues fabric that would otherwise end up in landfill, and I love that this project gets to highlight a more sustainable way to source fabric while still making something genuinely useful. I talk through what Supplex is like to work with—soft, breathable, wicking, and stretchy—and why those qualities make it such a good match for activewear. I also share my general experience sewing it (spoiler: it’s easier than you might expect), and how the pattern comes together for a classic athletic top. And because sewing is only part of my real life, I also chat about enjoying the tail end of summer—time in the woods near home, some yard work, and a couple of fun outings after such a rainy season. If you’re curious about sewing activewear fabrics, or you’ve wondered whether a “technical” fabric like Supplex is worth trying on a home machine, this one will give you a clear, practical starting point—plus a discount code if you want to shop Our Social Fabric.
