    Great tips! Thank you, Johanna. I found Aeroflock at one of my local sewing machine shops this week. And it was the same sale price that Sewing Parts Online was selling them for. Joy! Thanks for that tip from your recent sew along vlog. I was surprised how few colors were available, but I found 6 that'll be fun to try. I am looking forward to giving leggings a try. Hope you're enjoying being back to work at your day job.

    Awesome video Johanna!! I only make my leggings! (never purchase them!) I purchased your Aila leggings pattern and can't wait to sew them up!!! I have a quick question you may have covered in your videos (or your book)...can lightweight scuba knit be used for leggings?

    • @Thelaststitch
      @Thelaststitch  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Myra! I haven't really addressed scuba, but I did make a pair of Aila leggings using a "scubai-sh" fabric but with fleece backing instead, and that worked really well. As long the cross- and length-wise stretch is there (at least 65% cross and around 50% lenght-wise) is what I recommend. Please report back if you try as I'm really curios to know if it works!

      The Last Stitch Johanna, first let me thank you for a wonderful leggings pattern! They were so super easy to do! And in answer to my question to you, yes they can be made in a scuba knit as long as it is two way stretch (both horizontal and vertical). I will be tagging you tomorrow once I post them and thanks again for a lovely pattern this is going to be my new TNT for leggings!

    But yours don't do the weird elastic pucker (like how children's pants look lol)... how do you achieve the smooth elastic look so they don't look like they're poorly made toddlers pants?
