like I promised still in April the reversible leggings DIY... I love to make clothes for my little girl and hope I can show you some ideas now and then. Like this reversible leggings I made a few weeks ago. I love it, it has two different sides, one uni color and the other one with a black and white pattern, so I can make it suitable to different outfits and have 2 versions in just one leggings, Emmi loves it too :)... here are the few little steps:
1- make a pattern out of a leggings or skinny pant, add extra seam for the stitches, pay attention to the pant crotch, the pattern should 3 dimensional that it stays comfortable and doesn`t rip of in different movements ( you know all this active toddler gymnastic movement things...), precut the pattern in two different elastic fabrics
2- sew the two different fabrics together, each on his own, use an elastic stitch (overlock or chevron)
3- pull the leg parts into each other, add or sew on a elastic wristband (seize should be long enough that you can fold it on half and length should be a bit smaller then the upper pant part)
4- add/ sew on some cuffs on the legs, use two different fabrics ( half size of the cuff should be a bit smaller than one leg) ........... ready!!!
------> the seams on the side of the pants are hidden by folding the cuffs up and down), also the leggings crows with the child because you can vary the cuff length by folding it ... have fun !
