tights leggings

turning outgrown tights into fun leggings

i had these two pairs of tights that my daughter loved, but that were too short. inspired by this tutorial at make it and love it (in turn inspired by this other tutorial), i turned them into two fun, colorful, ruffly pairs of leggings.

thank you, all! i know, dressup, i'm going to look through my own tights to find some good candidates with holes in the toes or such to give this treatment to! :) lisa

Such a neat idea. I must try this with a particularly cute pair of tights my daughter has and is growing out of.
