I am not too good with this type of material but I am learning!
These are all fabulous ideas! I have a sneaking suspicion we will be seeing the circle skirts with a wider waist band w/short hem that were popular in the late 90's early 00's. You used to be able to make them from t-shirts. I am going to try and adapt the pattern above and see how it comes out!
very nice patterns, will try many of them
so many cute patterns, thanks!
Definitely making a bunch of leggings but I need to find the right fabric.
