As the athletic landscape has been virtually barren of the romantic variety, I have determined to take matters into my own artless hands. Specifically, a semi-handmade project in the honor of quixotic physical exertion.
First, I took my complimentary Undertease Signature Cap Sleeve Tees. I accepted this brand based on the following criteria:
Sponsored by
- Premium fabric blend: the beechwood modal stretches without loosing shape, wears without compromising sheen or pilling, and most importantly wicks moisture away from the body. While its traditionally worn as a base layer, I determined it to be the perfect yoga tee.
- Polished Seams: When exercising, one needs to be particularly vigilant of underarm seams. Too unrefined and you’ll be a victim of raw meat pits. Undertease has a flat, single fold, polished stitch that not only looks lovely, but feels lovely.
Below are the handful of yoga tees I made with fabric scraps, mismatched buttons, and discarded lace.
Tips: Order a size up as they run a touch small for my tastes. And keep the embellishment near the neckline where the fabric has less stretch and pull. And while they should be safe in the delicate cycle, save them from the ravages of the dryer.
Thanks to dear Beth for guiding me through this crafty project.

I once heard you say you “weren’t crafty”. Well. That is officially a misnomer, now that have evidence of your creativity, ingunity and skill for the entire world to see!
I love them!
And you’re onto something. . .very marketable designs. Project Runway in your future?
very nice, Ms. Reachel. i might even be tempted to exercise if i had such darling workout wear.
They even look cuter on! I love them all. 🙂
If you ever want to sell them, we have a spot here!! You are multi-talented, Reachel~ they are beautiful!
I fear Beth has been too kind than admit how much she assisted me in assembling these creations, but they did turn out lovely. I am quite pleased.
Wonderful Wonderful! You do such fun unique posts I love your blog.

seriously, you are darling. now I feel really bad for wearing grey sweats to the gym.
They are all ADORABLE!
So, so cute! I know it’s only exercising, but I still like to look good. I wish I were crafty. I have lots of random buttons I need to use for a cute craft
I am pretty sure that Beth made those yo-yos that you put on the top as well. Not that you don’t have lots of domestic skills, but making yo-yos is not your forte. They are cute. I am impressed. Your home-ec teacher would be proud of you.
Not so Grandma Sue. I can make yo-yos, and I sewed them on with my own little hands. Beth helped me with the machine sewing. I am afraid of the auto-stitch, particularly the bladed serger.
REACHEL!! this is my favorite thing ever. maybe even the most favorite blog project i have ever seen!!
i am seriously green with envy that i have never thought of doing this –or really tried. this makes me re-think my whole identity as a crafter. i suck.
i need to step it up a notch.
WOW!!
