No-slip No-chafe Thigh Highs

I turned my thigh-high leg warmers for Nora Valkyrie into tights, and I filmed it so you can do it too!

need...

  • thigh highs (or leggings, or boot covers, or another pair of tights, etc.)

  • dance tights (or leggings)

  • scissors

  • pins

  • preferably a serger. this might be possible using a stretch zigzag stitch on a regular machine.

also I apologize for the occasional terminology mix up, filmed this on the fly after work.

Watermelon Hammer
