The Fabric Mart order included some thin synthetic yarn dyed stripe knit, with the intention of making a pair of tights, using the pattern I traced off of a commercially made pair of cut and sewn tights.
I ended up making two pairs, although the second has the crotch extensions pieced, because what was left wasn't quite wide enough to get everything cut.
There's still no appealing way to photograph tights, so this is what you get.
Since I cut them in opposite directions, each pair has the opposite stripe order, for some nice and barely noticeable variety.
The fabric turned out to have the perfect amount of stretch in the right directions, and fit very nicely at the ankles. I can't say the same for the other fabric in the order that I intended to be tights. (I'm working on salvaging the fabric. But not for leg wear.)
I have made silly little striped tights for dolls for years, so it was fun to make some for me.
