zipped up leggings

Vicki · 01-27-2002, 08:13 PM

My sister and I are getting new outfits made...the last one for a while. LOL We are getting leggings made that you zip up and what I wanted to know is....how do ya'll make ya'lls leggings stay w/out sliding down? Is there anything we can put inbetween the fabric that can make it stiff? Any suggestions will be helpful. :)

You can use plastic canvas between the backings to make them stiffer. As for the zipper situation, I haven't had a problem with my coming down but I do know that some people put a safety pin throught the little hole on the zipper pull and attach it to the top of the legging, just in case.

If you back them with interfacing, they will be stiff. Get a heavy weight interfacing, and you should be fine. You just iron the interfacing onto the back of the legging fabric.

I use baby padding to make my leggings and they won't fall down. The padding is stiff and it they will stay up even if u decided to do beadwork on them. I've beaded all of mine and they work fine. It works great :D !!!

:Chatter I have made a lot of leggings , and just finished my first fully beaded. I`ll post pictures later I use vinyl placemats (for table use) and bead directly on it. Or cover with clothe to match the outfit. Line it with cotton material and they never ever sag . I edge it with double width bias tape . I also make large barretts and hair ties , cuffs on the placemats.
