Sewing Inexpensive Gymnastics Leotards
One alternative to the purchase of girl’s gymnastics leotards that we have not discussed yet is the creation of one’s own leotards. While this is not a viable alternative for all of the readers of this blog, it is an alternative. I have had several parents successfully create girls gymnastics leotards that are every bit as durable as those purchased from commercial businesses.
The following site http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/patterns/sewingpatterns.pl?patternid=4608 provides some information for those of you who feel you are up to this challenge. I’d like to hear how your outfits turn out. The creation of your own outfit provides a way for parents who are looking for an inexpensive way to get girl’s gymnastics leotards for their children, and provides a learning experience in the process.
In the course of follow-up investigation on the matter, I also found that Amazon offers a gymnastics leotard pattern. I went out and found a link to the patterns that they offer. These look like a decent pattern (based on my professional opinion) and the price is right (around $10). If you make the decision to go out and try these I would also really appreciate any feedback you may have. With Leotards becoing so expensive, sewing your own leo is a great alternative.
Now get out there and stick it.
