Children's Leggings: McCall's 7709

One more gift sewing project, the leggings, from McCall's 7709.  

I will have to give this a good pressing before I wrap this one up.  These leggings are sewn in a size six.  The pattern is rated as "very easy" and this certainly applies to this project.  There are no side seams and it can easiest be stitched in less than an hour.  

The fabric is another scrap busted piece.  This fabric first appeared here and is a 67% bamboo, 28% cotton and 5% spandex blend.  It was previously pretreated so I was able to get right to work on this project.  

Sewing IS Political

This is another Canadian made and tariff free project.  The fabric was in the stash for many moons.  The "designed and printed in the U.S.A." pattern was a recent and tariff free purchase as the Big Four patterns are on a liquidation sale due to the U.S. tariffs.  The Gutermann threads are from the stash.  The label is a KATM project from an Australian company.
