...2.4...W.I.P. Wednesday...

...Our Airman's Wife absolutely loved her birthday present...here's a photo of it in it's new home...it looks adorable on their sofa...

...I needed a new set of workout gear for the gym...and this is my favorite pair of workout bottoms...they're kind of capri length leggings...

...so of course I went thrifting to get some 'like' them...and you say...wait...that's a sweatshirt - not leggings...I know - so that was a fail...but I'm going to turn that XXL sweatshirt into a pair of leggings...

...and I got it because it matched this stained burgundy PINK top that was in the free bin...

...so I made a tissue paper pattern of the leggings...

...and cut the sweatshirt apart...you can see that the shirt is not quite as long as the pattern...but that's ok because instead of the flared leg...I'm going to add the ribbed cuff from the sweatshirt right below the knee...

...sewing the pieces together...and I'm sewing everything together with white thread and a top-stitch overlock...so that it matches the top...

...I had to do some piecework on the sides...and I tried to make it 'sporty' looking...but I liked that I was able to position the logo right at the hip - where a logo should be...haha...

...this is all the burgundy that I had leftover...

...the finished leggings...there's a yoke with a ribbed cuff at the waist and the ribbing under the knees...I'm really happy with how they turned out... they'll also be the perfect 'pedal pushers' for riding my bike...

...so then I turned my attention to the shirt...and pretreated the spots with homemade carpet cleaner...

...they weren't horrible spots...probably a splash of coffee...

...and so that came out clean...

...what's in your workbasket this week?...

~Have a lovely day!
