Okay, so slightly crazy, but do you have a preferred process for making leggings? Yours look fantastic. And I'm about to make some. And now am like, "How do I make sure mine look equally awesome?"

I have a mccalls pattern that I altered to get different styles. The original pattern only had once seam (Inner leg) so adding style lines is super easy! Most leggings take about 1-1 1/4yard.

do you have a serger? It makes it a lot easier, and faster than a regular machine.

I do have a serger, and will have to look for the McCall's pattern. (Patterns are always so much easier to work from than trying to draft.)

Hmmm...I may have to try out a few soon. Your leggings do look great, and it would be fun to have a couple of custom made versions!

Careful, its very addicting!
I keep telling myself to avoid spoonflower, its just too dangerous that all their fabrics are available in knit...

Oh, no! Not Spoonflower. Like you said, that place is too dangerous. MUST RESIST. (At least until I've emptied my drawers of all the extra fabric I'm supposed to be using up...)
