I could get myself in so much trouble with this. I love tights! Now I'm wondering if I have any 2-way stretch fabrics in my stash. :think

Anyone ever try this? Results?

Never have, and since I want to keep my sanity, and am not skilled at this level of finesse, never will. But I am SUPER impressed, and those tights are perfect.

Oh goodness. I want to sew tights now. I love tights.

Not a project I'm ever going to tackle, but that was a great tutorial. I especially loved this part:
If you have any reason to believe your legs are different to each other, then you should do this whole process for the other leg too. :giggle

Yeah. I have some skinny jeans and it drives me crazy because my right calf is slightly bigger than my left. I even had to go home, rip my pants off, and measure. It was making me crazy...such an uneven feeling.

That's actually pretty common. Your dominant leg can have larger muscles than the other, just like your hands/arms. I need different ring sizes for each hand. If I try to put my wedding/engagement rings on my right hand they don't even come close to going on. It makes perfect sense.

That is seriously impressive.
