Skinny Leggings and Comic Strip Tee

I was so inspired by the skinny tees and leggings I have been seeing in The KCWC Flickr group that I have decided to make my own versions too!

I used my basic blocks made from my favorite kids pattern making book, Metric Pattern Cutting, to make both the tee shirt and the leggings.

I used my basic pant block, made it more narrow and omitted the seam allowance to make it smaller for stretch fabric. I just used my basic top block and omitted the seam allowance on that too for the top. If I make the top again, I will narrow the arms a little. I used some black cotton ribbing for the neckband. The whole outfit only took about two hours to make.

It's my own version of the Flashback Tee!

I am so glad I have these basic patterns now and don't have to spend money and time trying to find patterns for style I like.

My girl has some attitude and is looking very urban!

I have had this comic book fabric for years and made this dress for my older daughter from it :

I bought the pants fabric in downtown LA where I buy most of my fabric for a Halloween costume.

 The girl at the shop told me it was from the designer BEBE, and I could tell it was much better quality than your usual stretchy, shiny cheap stuff.

 Although these pants would probably look very Jersey Shore on an adult, I think they are cute on a little kid!
