Burda Style For people who sew
 "Pin It")
Description
Those tights are definitely the most time consuming ones I ever made. I made some with buttons before but I never used so many of them (about 200!).. Took me about 8 hours to sew them on (I had to do that while wearing them to see if it looks good..). After all I really love how they came out =)

Oh my goodness! I love this! I was actually going to use buttons on tights for a costume I designed for a production of Pippi Longstocking one time…..I ended up hand painting the tights instead. But now I think I wish I would have gone with buttons! Bravo!

Hi, yes they are because I left the bottom and the knee holes blank =)
