It can't hurt to be seen - hence the colour (the microlight in grey was unfortunately already sold out at the time). Despite the bright colour, the vest has been with me since then on almost every winter and autumn tour as a lightweight warming companion. It was sewn according to a Jalie pattern ( longer size M), the outer and inner material is Pertex Microlight (44g/sqm), the insulation is Primaloft Sport 133g/sqm and the total weight is 300g.
Pictures:
Microfleece pocket lining - to warm up clammy fingers quickly.
Tanka with fabric attachment at the bottom of the Primaloft waistcoat. The tanka is attached to the inside of the hem so that it doesn't get in the way and the cord can be stowed away better inside.
One of the many intermediate steps in sewing the waistcoat. The Primaloft filling is first sewn onto the fabric parts of the outside. The individual pieces are then sewn together.
After the Primaloft has been sewn onto the outer fabric, the scrim (the backing fleece on which the Primaloft is delivered) is removed.
Almost finished... ; ) ..the inner fabric is still to come.

Primaloft vest
I made this vest from Primaloft and Microlight mainly to keep warm when belaying in alpine climbing.

Turquoise softshell
Sina sewed this jacket using the Jalie pattern 2679 and the Softshell 04. The pattern was slightly changed in the waistband, sleeve ends and elbows. The hood is a self-design and can simply be attached to the neckline of the pattern.
Anne's projects
Among them is a black rain jacket made of a lightweight 3-layer laminate with PTFE membrane, a red fur softshell vest, a windproof sweater with hood made of stretch polyamide in a great design and a baselayer longsleeve made of merino jersey.
Elastic, ultralightweight 3-layer jacket
First I was disappointed that the jacket is not 100% waterproof. After a few tours, even in real crappy weather, the advantages show: From the outside you do not stay 100% dry in continuous rain - but the breathability is so good that this disadvantage is outweighed. In addition, there is a...
Mitten
This mitten was sewn according to the Controlled Exposure cut CE75. The main material is a very robust 3-layer laminate. In addition, I have used an extra Cordura on the inside. Great cut - the handling with poles or on and off works wonderfully unstressful.
Fur fleece jacket
A very warm fleece jacket made of the fur fleece with a lot of loft by Malden Mills, the fleece with the best warmth to weight ratio in the range. Since it is not windproof, a windshirt makes a great addition to it. Sewn from Green-Pepper's Fairbanks pattern, but with some adjustments (different...

Thick fur fleece jacket
The fleece is made of a (unfortunately already sold out) wind-resistant, very thick Malden Mills fleece. Outside it has a fleece-typical surface, on the inside a cuddly teddy fleece. An absolute favorite piece in subtle black/grey.The pattern I used was the quite simple Mount Hood pattern from...
Shorts
Made from a thyme cotton/polyester blend, these shorts are made extra fitted with black stretch polyamide inserts with Coolmax. Sina took the cut from a pair of jeans. But until it became this pants, it has been revised a few times.
Pants
And another pair of pants from the cotton/polyester fabric, this time without elastic inserts and with a snazzy wet grass look at the leg cuffs. The cut is the same as the shorts made of the same material.
Baselayer from a merino/nylon/Spandex fabric
As the temperatures have dropped Sina has sewn a warm baselayer after a Jalie pattern. A merino / spandex / nylon Techfit jersey was used, which warms particularly well due to the loopy inside and is much more stable than 100% merino jersey due to the nylon outside.Since it is pulled up on...
Primaloft booties
For this photos they had to get out of the winter storage box and onto the green meadow. Since the cut is relatively simple and sewing and material costs are relatively low, the booties are very suitable Primaloft test and remnant project.Both booties are sewn from Pertex material. Once...
Rain pants
As you can see, these pants have been in frequent use. At the knees, 3 darts provide a better fit, with a - not so lucky - solution for the leg cuffs, the pants can be easily tightened.For a better fit, the waistband is particularly high contoured, a neoprene insert at the back provides...
Ultralightweight down jacket
Sina's fingers immediately tingled when the ultra-light, down-proof ripstop nylon came in. At the moment she has the first parts together and filled with down, at this point there is gradually to see the progress.The pattern for Jalie's insulated vest served as the basis, but long sleeves are...
Ski pants
For these ski pants from the 3-layer laminate, PTFE membrane, soft&elastic Sina has taken off her old Burton snowboard pants. It took a lot of measuring, estimating and sewing, but then it fit amazingly well. The pants and the material have already proven themselves on many ski tours: very...
Stefans softshell jackets
Stefan, one of our hard-working package packers, also had his fingers tingling and conjured up 3 very successful softshell jackets.Sweater jacket from shell fleece from PolartecJacket made of Softshell 04 with red Aquaguard zipper and hood, based on Jalie cut 2795, item 70433Jacket in softshell...

Wind-Pro fleece jacket
Fleece jacket made of red, thin Wind-Pro fleece (which is unfortunately sold out by now) after the softshell pattern 2679 by Jalie. The trousers are made of black stretch polyamide from a cut by Mummy. Fits, sits and works. That's how it should be.
Barefoot shoes
Barefoot shoes, similar to espadrilles (only in the high-tech version). The soft, thin Supernewflex sole is perfect for non-slip shoes with minimal cushioning. The stretch polyamide and the 3D mesh are sewn together to form the upper fabric (i.e. the upper fabric can of course also be just the 3D...
