Some of you wanted to know how to gather the leggings, it’s quite simple:

Just attach the buttonhole backing to a piece of old jeans or just sew a regular buttonhole. Attach the piece on the side of the leggins, let the  piece end at the hem of the leggins. Sew two tunnels, pull the ribbons through and fix them at the hemline. Finish the leggins as usual.

Very cool if you let the jeans pieces fringe at the sides.

Now the matching shirt:

I chose HILDE , cut out an ornament and stitched it on a piece of jeans. Cut out the jeans and fixed it on the shirt with enough room to let it fringe, too. For the elbow patches I used ovals of the same fabric.

pattern: Mixshirt HILDE, Leggings LAGUNA or RIVIERA off the book
