It must have been passed down to me from my dad... I hate wasting things! These little leggings/shorties were made from the sleeves of a J-Crew 3/4 sleeve top that I found at GW! It served me well, but now has a few small holes on the front of the top. I love the peachy red color, so I thought, I can use most of it for fabric and the sleeves are great legs for a little lady to play in. All you need is a pair of scissors, sewing machine and some elastic!

| Here is the top. $3.00 at GW! |

| Just cut along the seam. |

| In a few of my other posts, I used leggings that I owned for a pattern. I made my own pattern by tracing the leggings and then placed them on the sleeves. |

| Here you go... sew them together, sew a channel at the top for some elastic and you have some comfy leggings or shorties, and they could last you a year or two, and they are great for play, so comfy and light! Enjoy! |
What a great idea, Dawn! Can't wait to try this!
