JEF, you always make the absolute best Jalie sports outfits, and this is no exception. I love your dd's coy cute looks. She is as darling as the outfit.

Your daughter is so cute! She must hit her poses on the ice and in the gym perfectly. This outfit (like always) looks great. I was thinking multicolor bindings would look great and eye catching.

SO cute! Love the colors and thanks for the directions. I have this pattern - I want to convert it into a gym/yoga top that does not let my whole large bosom hang out! Thanks!

Great job! How lucky she is to have a sewing mom to produce a million cool leotards. I love the blue and white one - the sparkly blue is the best.

JEF, I love the leotards! She is indeed a lucky girl-- just dream it, and mommy does it. :) Excellent construction and color combinations!

Super use of contrasting fabric and other details showcasing the versatility of this pattern! The possibilities are infinite! It's very rewarding sewing for the young ones...Their gratitude and appreciation is unmatched! Her adorable smile says it all!

How do you do the elastic on yours, with the double needle stitch? is this on a sewing machine? do you sew the elastic on with a zig zag stitch and then fold over and do a double needle stitch? thanks!!

JEF said...
jcalleja - I'm not sure how I got the elastic down initially. I'll either use my serger or zigzag the elastic to the wrong side. I just do whatever is threaded/whatever I feel lik. For these I then folded over and coverstitched. I don't use a double needle on sewing machine but I will zigzag to topstitch the elastic down. I think zigzagging normally looks just fine although coverstitching does look more RTW.

I just made up this pattern last night for my daughter to wear this morning (typical huh??) and her response also was the armhole elastic was too tight. Glad you mentioned the proportion of elastic to fabric for the armhole so I can fix it now before she wakes up. I agree that this is a great pattern (but when I make it again I will lengthen the elastic lengths for both armhole (quite a bit) and leg opening (just a bit).
