I just finished four pairs of leggings for my rapidly growing toddler granddaughter. Can you guess which two came from my old tops?

The two on the right were made from Coldwater Creek tops I used to wear; the turquoise pair had to be capris because the top wasn’t long enough. I cut the leggings out so that their hems were the same as the tops’ hems. That saved me some time.

The two on the left were made from vintage fabric I picked up at my town’s annual Salvation Army fabric sale. Vintage knit fabric is much sturdier than most modern knit fabric, and makes great leggings for active little girls.

All of the leggings were made from Simplicity pattern number 8304.
