How to Attach Elastic to a Leotard

This How to Sew a Leotard video will show you exactly how to sew the elastic onto your leotard with a home sewing machine and a serger. The hardest part of sewing a leotard is attaching the elastic. It's okay if you don't get it perfect on the first try or even the 10th or 100th. It will most likely take time to perfect (like most things). Why should you learn how to make a leotard? Well…. If you’re like most gymnasts or dancers you probably spend A LOT of money on leotards so this new acquired skill would help save money on leotards. A second advantage would be, once you get decent at making leotards you could start selling them to your teammates! Now you would be making money!
