This is my second pair of leggings from McCalls M7446.
The first pair were fluorescent orange a
which you can see here:
Again these are made from the reverse side of polyester crepe which means they are warmer than real sports wear type fabric / swim wear fabric making them brilliant for this time of year
This picture looks a bit weird where I rolled my top up to show you the colour blocking - I do nto wear themquite like this😊
I have a small bit left of the cream fabric so am considering a top from that. I still seem to have TONS of this crepe stretch fabric left despite my real attempt at using it all up. I am not intending to buy more of this because I hate the stuff. It does make a nice warm winter excercise fabric but really its not at all my thing. I bought loads of it very cheap off Ebay back in 2015-2017 (Weston fabrics) if you like this type of fabric or want some at a reasonable price. I had no idea then what fabric I did or did not like but now I have more experience with stretch fabrics I find this is not really my thing. I cannot afford to just waste this and throw it though so need to make it into things and so far I am finding ways to use this up and like what I am making so really I am starting to think actually there is no such thing as a fabric you do not like. You just have to discover how to make it your style. In most colours (and I had loads) I am down to small pieces now which I will evenually have a go at making exercise crop tops/ underwear from. First though to find uses for the last few large bits I still have.
Anyway I am actually quite pleased with my recent foray into sportwear. This really does make for very warm winter leggings and to be perfectly honest I am not nowadays prepared to freeze for fashion!
Thanks for visiting
