ooooh can you post a link to tearaway - not heard of that. The glue can get a bit messy but I found pinning the fabric was sliding everywhere. You should invest in an overlocker if you are making lots LMM, halves the time to make them. 'Margo

I am right there with you. I can manage bags, stretch waist skirts, and even a decent zipper but the thought of making something that could... malfunction so easily scares me!Can I just say how impressed I am with all of you??? I do a bit of sewing, but I limit myself to very forgiving items... Halloween costumes, pajamas, tote bags. Reading these posts and imagining sewing a leotard makes my head swim.
Added later: On posting this, I then found the word "leotard" in the first sentence became a link. I did not put the link there, nor do I want it there... :-(
Orrrr you could leave things that read mightily like slurs against the developmentally disabled somewhere not here. Just a thought.
I appliqué the design onto the plain leo with a zigzag stitch (to allow for stretch). Top tip here, spray appliqué with spray adhesive on the reverse ( I use 3M) before applying, holds much better than pins.
If I was to do a design like this
I would cut and stitch.

I don't know how some of you home based leo makers sell them so inexpensively! Goodness, if I managed to make something wearable I would be tempted to sell it for full out GK prices for the aggravation alone (and it definitely wouldn't be as nice as what you guys are making!).When you Do something like this you can see why they cost so much
