Oh. My. Goodness!!! I love these! I always thought I could use old shirts to make leggings for my girls, but I tend to doubt myself until someone else tells me it really is possible. While perusing Made quite a while back I found this tutorial and I was so excited!
I made some cute little green and white striped capri leggings for Addie back in the spring. She wore them almost everyday throughout the summer!
So, when I found a red and white striped shirt at the thrift store (with the perfect amount of stretch!) I knew my girls just had to have some candy cane leggings for the holiday season!
I really wanted to make a pair for both of my girls so I got a little creative. I made Addie a pair of pants from the body of the shirt, and I used the sleeves to make a pair for Ellie. I wouldn't recommend doing that, but it all worked out in the end. They love their new pants! Well, Ellie doesn't really care, but Addie wanted to wear hers for a week straight. I had to convince her to let me wash them.
