The Limestone Leggings and Top are knit foundation pieces for every season.

With multiple views and leg lengths, the Limestone leggings are an activewear workhorse for many activities. The curved pockets provide a playful and practical element while the contoured waistband and carefully placed seams support comfortable movement and fun color-blocking potential. The pattern also features a crotch gusset for ease of movement and increased comfort due to the reduction of bulky seams.

The Limestone Top is a super quick sew. Choose between high-back and scooped-back views; both look great under a Studio Tunic, Otis Overalls, or Penny Pinafore in warm weather. Adding the optional wide elastic band transforms it into an easy sports bra.

Fabric and materials recommendations

We recommend using medium- to heavy- weight knit fabrics with 50% stretch and a strong recovery. Our ice dyed and black sets are made with heavy organic cotton jersey, available at EWE Fine Fiber Goods. We recommend this fabric if you want to workout in your Limestone.

Performance knits would also be a great choice for this pattern.

Sophia and Meg’s color-blocked sets are made with Birch Organic Interlock Knit. This is a great beginner fabric with a beautiful palette. It is a good choice if you are planning to use your set for lounging and relaxing. A very similar fabric, available from EWE Fibers, is this Hudson Tencel jersey.

You can find fabric, notions, ice-dyeing supplies, and get your pattern printed at EWE Fine Fiber Goods.
