Want to know my favorite store for getting some great knit fabric?! Old Navy {and Target}. Yep, in this two fabric store town I have to look outside the box. And the clearance section is a gold mine of XXL shirts just waiting to be utilized. The best deals are definitely when Old Navy does their extra 50 % off sale, or after the holidays. And remember that Shade sale? My friend Karen was teasing me for going fabric shopping instead of looking for actual clothes.
I got the Lil Blue Boo leggings pattern last Saturday afternoon while I was working at Greenies. I was excited to get home and sew because it was a great rainy fall night. Darin was shooting a wedding in Pendleton so it was going to be quiet and relaxing after Ivy went to bed. Perfect. Until I sat down to print it.
*ERROR* Grr. My printer was completely out of ink. Double Grr. So I cleaned the house instead. Some Saturday night eh?! Well I finally got some ink for my printer on Tuesday and was able to make Ivy some pants.

I used a grey striped shirt from my knit stash. The best part about using shirts for fabric is you already have finished edges. And having a serger means that these pants probably took 10 minutes to make. Maybe even 9. I love that about Ashley's patterns. She is so precise and has great directions so I don't have to read them over and over again just to figure it out.

Ivy's legs are like a mile long and her waist is the same size it was 2 years ago. That means I can't find jeans that fit. Something she is secretly happy about. So leggings it is for her. Maybe I'll make her some jeggings ;)
