Last weekend Benj and I headed back to Canberra to visit my family.My sister pointed out these leggings she wanted online yonks agobut they cost about $80. I thought this was just craaazy so I decided to whip her up a few pairs while I was in town.
We headed into the local Spotlight when we picked up this cheap green stretchy jersey and black and white stretchy jersey. I used a burdastyle pattern and a leggings drafting tutorial to double check the measurements on the pattern.

It's always lovely to go back to Canberra, I particularly like the autumn days, beautiful sunny, warm days and chilly nights. We drove the new Beetle down there and boy oh boy was it fun!

You have a beetle! That is awesome, more pics please! I made a bunch of tights too-traced out a Jalie pattern and went a bit nuts- I'm truing to modify them to be more like stockings- i.e. with the sock bit that goes around the toes (so I can wear them without socks when I've shoes on).
ReplyDeleteThat's genius! How did you modify the pattern? Did you already have a sock-type shape to add onto it?
