A week ago, I ran the Cambridge Half Marathon for @sewpositivecharity in my handmade suit, a blue replica of last year’s trisuit. Super comfy, supportive, with pockets and silicone tape to keep the legs in place & done in the charity’s colour 🩵. I received 54 compliments from strangers on the course. Highly recommend making your own sportswear! 🏃🏼‍♀️

Yesterday, I competed in my first triathlon and wore my custom trisuit. After a year of running and designing my own jumpsuits and skorts, I crafted the perfect fit; complete with zipped pockets, visibility for supporters, and a cute pattern. I received many compliments and felt fantastic during the race 🩷
