D.I.Y all the time!

Lace tights

Supplies:    -Tights    -chalk or a marker     -scissors      -fabric glue      -yarn/needle     -Lace OR any print fabric -Ruler

 Step! 1: What you want to do is try on the tights and measure how high you want to cut the tights make a line with your chalk or marker where you'd like to begin to cut.  The measurements i made were 1inx24in. *Here's a great tip that i learned through trial and error buy a pair of tights that are one size larger if you are not using stretchable material. Or else the tights will just rip when trying them on. Any measurements longer than 1 inch in width shows alot of leg. Just want you to be aware of that tip.

 Step 2: Now that you have the line drawn around the thigh area. Begin to draw a line coming down from the tights. Like the picture above.

 Notice the left side of the dashes. That is the side you will not be cutting. So you will need to sew that stitch close. Or else that flap will fall apart. So for every seam you cut sew it close.

 Step 4: Begin to sew.

 Step 5: Begin to cut where you drew the dashes.

  Should look like this once both sides of the legs are cut.

 Step 6: Measure the size of the cut you made. Mine was 2inx24 in. if you do not fold the fabric in half. If you decide to fold the fabric in half it will be alot faster and easier. If you fold the fabric in half the measure meant becomes 1inx24in.

 Step 7:  Measure and cut out the fabric.

 Should look like this once both sides of the material are cut out.

 Step 8: Begin to glue on the fabric. *You can glue on the fabric or you can sew on the fabric. If you glue on lace. BE VERY CAREFUL when gluing it isn't a solid fabric so it makes it hard to hold the pieces together firmly place the fabric. If you are gluing lace wait a few seconds before holding to two pieces together. To prevent from burning yourself.

DONE!!!
