Some of the sewn tights I made--this pair and one of these pairs--I wore so much that the heels wore out. Instead of darning them when the holes first appeared, I let them go until the holes were undeniable, and decided to cut them off just above the highest hole and finish the edges, turning them into leggings. I also decided to cut off the toe areas and do the same to the tights made from what turned out to be very baggy rib knits.
It took a while between deciding to do this and finally doing this, but the project suddenly became very attractive as a way to procrastinate figuring out what to do with the last fabric from that big Fabric Mart order. I'm wearing the gray now-leggings today, and they're perfectly functional leggings. Yay.
