leggings!

[samskud]

i had made lots of nice pairs of leggings before but today i was bored and decided why not use some of my old t-shirts and scrap fabric! (also used parts of an old sweater for high waistband and some other parts) sorry for the poor webcam pics...

those... ARE SO COOL.
i've recently (finally) mustered up the bravery to wear leggings (i'm a boy.)
they're soooooooooo fun.

thanks!
i've noticed guys in leggings have been on the runway alot the past couple seasons, thats awesome that you're giving them a go!

[omg_kittens]

the runway? hahahahahaha. that's definitely not what i'm going for.

still: love to your creations. <3

[samskud]

haha didnt think you were. just saying i've seen guys wearing them lately! (other than for joke purposes)

you are my idol. these are amazing. i would have never thought of making leggings out of old stuff.

what are your prices like?

[samskud]

honestly depends on the fabric. anywhere from 15 on up. i've made a couple pair of metalic gliter leggings (think american apparel vegas leggings) for friends which cost about 35, i dont profit much on them but honestly spreading my creations over the globe is more important than the money.

these are rad!
even though i think youre selling these, do you make them in the same shape/size as store bought leggings? and are they the same on the front and back (like no extra space for the butt)?

[samskud]

not really selling these, just through that in incase somone REALLY wants a pair.
i'd like to think i make legings slightly better than store bought since mine are hand made and i rennforce every seam etc haha but no they are not the same in the front as in the back, thier is more space in the back for the butt haha, i like experimenting with different rises though like these ones were high but most i have made have been low rise.

what would it take for you to share your pattern/tutorial/tricks-of-the-trade with me?

I realize this post is pretty old but I just found it after 3 tries at leggings and stitch-ripping-mania. I would love custom leggings/a bit of help if the offer still stands. My email is farawayonfire@gmail.com if so. I'm Tina. Hi. Nice work! :)
