When was the last time you actually LOLed at a sewing blog? Because I just did, twice, reading Dawn’s (aka “cabinbaby”) post about her PB Jam Leggings. Seriously! She totally nails the self-defeating runner inner dialogue there, too…
You all know I’m partial to super loud patterns and bright colours when I make my own leggings, but look – I have a fellow kindred spirit! Rainbow colours and psychedlic swirls weren’t enough for Dawn, no, no – she even used rainbow variegated thread, people! I totally applaud the use of the gymnastic poses in showing off all the finer points of the leggings, too.
One thing Dawn talks about in her post is using your serger/overlocker to make a mock-flatlock stitch, like you see on a lot of RTW sportswear. I haven’t found the regular overlocked seams to be a chafing problem for me, but I know a lot of people are more sensitive to it, and you can do your own flatlock stitching at home with just a few tension adjustments…
Read more about her versions over on her site, Two On, Two Off?
PS: If you’ve previously bought my patterns and would like the updated version with XXS sizing, unfortunately you’ll need to email me or leave a comment with your Transaction ID, as Etsy’s “automatic” system won’t let you access the updated file. Grrrrr. However, all new purchases will get the updated version!
Like hers? You can make your own with my pattern!
