In this installment of Work in Progress, I add a crotch gusset to a pair of leggings and show off what I bought from Fabric.com.

Greetings, sewists of the universe! In this installment of Work in Progress, I insert a triangle crotch gusset in a pair of leggings.

Since sewing my Made-to-Measure leggings last year, I’ve been hot to hack them in different ways. And, my No. 1-to-do hack is adding a crotch gusset. I love this feature in RTW leggings for the comfort it adds. I used a gusset tutorial from our sewing pal, Johanna Lundstrom of The Last Stitch, from her active wear book.

In other WIP business, I also do a little fabric haul, with goodies purchased from Fabric.com. I get into what I’d like to make with each fabric, too.

Without further ado, here’s the latest WIP vlog:

Here are links to all the goodies mentioned:
