Tutorial: How to make leggings

Erin from Francois et Moi  shows how you can recreate a favorite pair of leggings over and over and over.  You’ll use a pair of leggings that fit you to make a pattern so you can sew up a stack of them.  Her tutorial shows how to make a pattern by cutting apart a pair of leggings that have worn out.  If your leggings still have some wear in them, you could trace around the pieces without cutting them apart.  Once you have your pattern, you can sew up a pair of leggings with just a few seams.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
