WOW. I cannot believe I totally forgot to blog about a video tutorial I posted last month where I show you how to take a pair of leggings you already have and create a pattern from it so you can recreate as many new pairs as you want! My apologies if you missed out on it.

As you can see I make these in all kinds of fabrics and even enjoy tie-dyeing them with Rit liquid dye. To learn more about how I tie-dye my leggings click HERE for a step-by-step video tutorial.

I love your video for this Tutorial! I am going to make myself some denim leggings from some knit stretch denim that I mistakenly bought for a rag quilt, if it goes well I’ll probably have enough to make a vest to match. Any chance you’ll make a rag quilt tutorial in the future? I really like your style Vanessa! BTW my denim is red denim with black leopard print I bought from JoAnn’s online-LOL! Can’t wait to make them from my other denim jean leggings styled pants. Should be a fun project!
