I recently saw someone pair the cutest gingham shirt with a pair of polka dot bloomers, and I was in L-O-V-E. With the Spring Collection rolling around I thought…well, why not?!
After stumbling across the perfect polka dot T Shirt at the thrift store, I was in business…
The tute is really only to show how to add the shirring and button tab at the bottom. I have always been a fan of the leggings / tights tutorial that Made by Rae put out, and have used it ever since. You can find that HERE. Simply don’t add the feet to make them into leggings.
It is pretty simple, and you will be turning out leggings like nobody’s business once you give it a try. Trust me…it’s addicting.
And there you have it.
Now simply sew the rest of the tights together like the Made by Rae tutorial instructs, and you are in business! A pair of $1 tights by using a thrifted shirt, leftover scrap fabric to dress them up a bit, and a button…it is fabulous. Everyone will wonder where you are always getting your fabulous designed tights!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…
Happy Sewing!
Gorgeous! Love that green polka dot. I haven’t stopped by in a while, so it may be old news, but just wanted to say love your new blog look!
I love these! I don’t know why, but they are my favorite item in the collection. I guess it’s because they are so simply joyful!
adorable! funny how just that little detail on the legs brings the whole look together. my little ones live in leggings…well if they finally put clothes on, its usually leggings:)
Jessica, I pinned these in the middle of the night while I was waiting for the baby to go back to sleep and it’s been repinned about six gajillion times already!
So cute! Love the fabric combo!
Adorable! Love the entire outfit…
Very cute! Since I don’t have a little girl to dress, I’ll have to adopt one, or find something much larger to repurpose.
have a great day!
Nice work! One day, I will have a girl.
I must do that on my next pair of leggings! That fabric is awesome!!
