How to make leggings- DIY Tutorial

In this video tutorial I teach you how to use a pair of leggings you already have to create a pattern that you will then use to create a brand new pair of leggings. We do not need to cut open the existing pair you have. This technique is very simple and great for sewing beginners. {For fashion & styling of DIY and store bought clothes check out my friend, Mimi G of www.mimigstyle.com.
