Let's get to work

Now we will learn how to make stockings from pantyhose, and we will be engaged in the process of alteration. It consists of several important stages:

• To begin with, we need to unscrew the tights on the wrong side. This will make the product neat in the end result.
• Now we need to make a mark on the top of the tights, which you chose yourself. We recommend to trim the tights under the very top, at the level of the perineum. So stockings just will not be short.
• Next, trim the top of the tights, in order to eventually get two identical stockings. For this we need sharp scissors. This manipulation is done with the second part of the tights.

Important! Cropped neatly, realizing that nylon is a rather gentle material.

• The edge of the already trimmed stocking should be scorched with fire, in other words, soak. In this way the product will not be blossomed. For these purposes, you can use matches, a lighter or a candle flame.

Important! We advise you to stretch the corner on a frame or stand. So it will be more convenient to burn the edges of an almost finished product.

• To ensure that the arrow does not form along the cutting line, it is necessary to sew a not too tight elastic band to the very edge of the stocking. This will allow the stockings to hold tightly to the feet. By the way, you can not buy an elastic band, but use an elastic band from the same tights. It should be carefully cut, divided into two parts and sewed to the top of the stocking. Everything is extremely simple!

Important! Threads to make classic stockings of pantyhose, should be the same color as pantyhose. If you like experiments, please! You can take an elastic band and thread a cardinally different color, or combine seams in different colors.

• The edge of stockings can be processed with different stitches, for example, with a zigzag or machine stitch. The main thing is that in the end, from the front side, the product was clean and without puffs.

Important! During sewing on kapron it is not necessary to tighten strongly stitches and it is not necessary to do the big indentations between them. The seam in this case will be rough and not quite neat. More care, zeal, and you will succeed.

• On request - we decorate ready stockings with ribbons, rhinestones and lace. These elements will give the product some kind of piquancy and tenderness.

That's the whole process of converting pantyhose into stockings. Agree, it's easy to make stockings with your own hands from pantyhose.
