RB's motivation 2014: Vanellope leggings REDO 1

So i've never been too satisfied with the way I had one cheek hanging out of my leggings the first day of GK. As well as worrying about the stripes falling down from the other leg. All in all these leggings were a good first try. But now I really want to redo them, and I'm determined to try and do them by TOMORROW/SUNDAY. Because at Geekplastique if you go in cosplay on their anniversary sale you get a discount, so good motivation I think for something that would be getting pushed down on the list otherwise

So here I have the old leggings since the good half is salvageable. I'm taking the stripes and pinning them to the half. I actually wore them while pinning to get the stretching. It was horrible to take off, little scared what it's going to be like to sow them later. 

Theme of this post. LETS GET RB A SEWING MACHINE!!!


So here's the new stockings I bought from a portland sex shop! Since nobody sells this color in stripes! Still managed to not fit. I'm a petite person......this should not be that difficult..... YET IT IS SO MUFFIN TOP THIGHS HOORAY.

 And another picture of the other half of the mint tights that thankgod I saved from last year, knew from the start this was going to be a redo

Another pic of the old leggings with the pinned stripes. See the lime green portion, how it's on my thigh not my butt where it's supposed to be. See also how they used to be tights, and had to cut a hole to shove my foot through to become leggings so they could be somewhat wearable
 So new stripe, cut off the elastic so blood will not be cut off from the rest of my leg. And attached it to the  top/waist part of the old scrap
 And here they are all pinned together hanging from a chandelier like Sia. A little scared of the difference here, but tried to give a lot of pillow space because I don't want the same mistake again. Hopefully it's just a little stretch and not one saggy buttcheek
 Here's the close up of the pins. ironic how I cut them off to start only to sew them back together again. Like medallion twins or some shit
 And some extra. Didn't think to grab a seam ripper when I was already running up the block at midnight to tricia's for fabric scissors and pins. I'm a mess.
So had to just cut a portion of lime green to seperate the old to attach to the new. I give you a labia, I think.
All this shit at 1 am. Another post, another cosplay coming soon
-RB out
