tutorial tuesday: fat thighs + leggings = holes that need mending
If you want to watch 10 minutes of me talking about how much I hate jeans, how much I love leggings, and how much I like to mend my clothes... then you're in luck.
I also show you HOW I mend my leggings to get as much wear out of them as possible. The way I do it would work for many different inside-out mending jobs. So... BONUS.

Here's a fancy-pants illustration I found on google images in case what I'm doing in the video isn't super clear. After filming it I realized that I may want slightly better lighting next time and that even though black thread on black fabric is what I would actually use to mend my actual leggings, it isn't the best for visually demonstrating what the heck I'm doing. Whoops.

Ah! I've missed your vlogs...you're too funny and very charismatic. This makes me wish I wasn't such a sewing dunce!
Jaaaasie! You are so cute. I never thought about doubling (quadrupling?) up on the thread. Great idea!
I love this post! It has a healthy dose of style, frugality, and body acceptance, while being a practical how-to for people of all sizes. Plus, your necklace is hot!
so funny and true!
This made me so much more ambitious to try mending! Thighs ARE rad!
I know this is totally off-topic, but your glasses are amazing (as is your hair, and most of all you!). They're really similar to old frames I had that are now sadly gone and I miss them. May I ask where you got them and/or what brand they might be?
Janean - It's not so hard! Simplest stitch EVAR! ;)
Neely - It makes the thread STRONGER (than yesterday).
Joy - Thanks muchly. I find that the more I speak from my big fluffy heart, the more my topics tend to intersect. NO BOXES! And that necklace was under $10! It's my current fave.
Laura and Corinna - Thanks!! They're Shuron Nulady! I got them online (frames direct, I want to say...?) and then took them with me to the eye doctor when I got my prescription updated last year. I like them a lot more than my last pair (which I did like a lot)!
