I purchased six pairs of leggings from babyGap and Target for $3.50 average. I chose colors that would coordinate with her skirts. I washed and dried them to preshrink. Tilt your head to the right to view the photo below.

Modesty Shorts
Last night I made modesty shorts for Joey and blogged about it (see I See London, I See France...), but due to technical difficulties the photos weren't published. Aaargh.

Last night I only committed to making one pair, so I chose a pair with stripes because those would be easier to make straight, even cuts. I cut them about two inches longer than I wanted them to be to allow for the hem. I then turned the shorts inside-out, folded the raw edge twice, and ironed.
Then I stitched. Easy peasy.
I'm very pleased with the results. It would be cute to embellish these shorts with bows, a la Monkeybar Buddies, or even using a Bedazzler. I'm kidding about the Bedazzler. Or am I?
