I joined my first sew-along by naii. It has been a motivation for sewing for the first time with knits. I used a ball-pointed needle and it worked just fine. I chose an elastic stitch which has a kind of honeycomb shape and it worked without the help of tissue paper. The knit fabric was a bit boring, all in gray, so I put a small touch of “color” by adding some decorative stitches by hand: a dandelion. I was not sure how to go with an applique, but I will try another time as I have seen now a tutorial explaining it. The pattern worked fine. I used a size 110 cm, but reduced it in the middle by nearly 2 cm, as the knit was very stretchy. They are nice for gym, but next time I would make them wider and try to adjust the front, where the fit is not perfect.
I lost for sure the “fear” of using knit fabric and I’m sure that I will be making more leggings in the years to come. We made also several flowers by rolling up thin stripes of the scrap fabric. They look really cute!

Chulísimo!!!!
Me alegro de que te gusten. La flor queda bien chula en el pelo, y además nos ha servido para tapar la parte de una horquilla que estaba un poco rota.
Enhorabuena! Genial los leggings! El bordado da un toque especial a las telas sin estampado, muy buena idea! Me alegro que hayas perdido el miedo a las telas de punto, todo es empezar. Gracias por participar!
Gracias a ti! La verdad es que había leído varias cosas que me habían desanimado y había dejado lo de la tela de camisetas pendiente. Me ha gustado mucho comprobar que no es para tanto. Y además mi hija está encantada porque a ella le chiflan los leggings. Con el CoseConmigo se ven tantas ideas, que seguro pronto caerán otros leggings! Gracias de nuevo 🙂
me encantan!! que bonito el aplique!
Gracias 🙂
Me encantan! te han quedado geniales
Muchas gracias. Se los puso el otro día para la carrera e iba toda contenta con ellos 🙂
