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...

Girl, I can't believe you have nearly 30 pairs of leggings! Good god! Do you wear them every single day or something???

Ya I do pretty much wear them every day. If I wear a skirt or pants is only every week and a 1/2 or so. I recently cut some of the older ones down (to knee length) and use them as pajamas.

Honestly the damn things never wear out! I still have a pair from junior high, I don't even remember what pants I had in junior high.
