Leggings are the perfect companion piece to a little girl's dress or top. They're easy to wear, easy to play in, and really, really fun to make! In this online course, Connie Palmer will teach you how to make leggings with five different hem variations as you learn all her best tips for sewing with knits on both a sewing machine and serger.
One of the legging variations featured in this course—the triple ruffle leggings—were originally designed to coordinate with Connie's Thoroughly Modern Marjorie Dress. But then, Connie shares, she got carried away with inspiration for all sorts of other wonderful hem variations! In addition to the triple-ruffle version, you will learn the following hem variations as well: lettuce edge, coverstitch, the "bow" cuff, and the tabs & pleats finish. You will have all the knowledge you need to create the perfect pair of leggings to match any look. After learning how to create the different hem variations, Connie covers the construction of the legs and crotch and finishes the course with a look at several waist casing variations. Enjoy the chance to push your own sewing skills and more when you join Connie Palmer in this online course.
