leggings.

I’m not a pants person; I live in dresses. Even my pajamas are dresses. But when it’s cold I live in dresses + leggings. True story. So when my friend – the most fabulous Rebecca of OodleBaDoodle – said she was going to teach a leggings class in San Francisco I was all over it!

First, we picked our favorite fabric. I chose a polkadot print with stripes on the opposite side. These galaxy prints though. They might need to be my next project!

We were equipped with a sewing machine, templates, scissors, pins – all the sewing things – plus instructions, demos, and one-on-one time with Rebecca.

I learned to work from a pattern, how to sew knits, and how to add an elastic band!

Pinning the legs…

I didn’t have enough fabric to make full length leggings so I ended up making a looser pajama pant. They are so comfy! Also, I wore them home because, well, I was wearing a short dress…in San Francisco…at night. >o<

Yay for learning new things!

I can’t wait to try making another pair unsupervised. I’ll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, share below on what fun projects you’ve been working on.

    Can it happen again? This looks like my idea of a fun afternoon. How about in the East Bay?
