Iridescent Red

Looking for more tiger print stretch material, I discovered iridescent fabric.

Ok, I *had* to try it, even though the material felt more like plastic than cloth. The fabric didn’t stretch at all so I needed a new pattern, and couldn’t custom fit it like with the first ones.

I used a pair of club pants to create a pattern and sewed these. They look and feel great, and shift colors from red to black. You don’t notice the color-shift except on stage under spotlights, so these aren’t the best choice for flagging under blacklight. Great club wear though!

I was quite proud of the detail I put into these pants. Zipper, full pockets, and trimmed with UV reflective thread. I put in so much effort because it was my first real pair and I wanted them as professional as possible.
