- This is a repost because I felt like the first time I posted this video it got buried and I was really proud of this one plus I needed a break this week from editing 😂👍🏽
IM TRYING TO BE MORE ACTIVE because my body just kind of hurts all the time and getting more than zero exercise is really helping me feel better! I want to have a few cute things to work out in and I love the workout skirts that @blogilates designed, so as soon as they get restocked I am buying one in every color! But until then, I try to make my own 😂👍🏽
This winter has been such a hard one, its so snowy and super cold and I felt my chronic pain getting worse by the day, at the beginning of the year I committed myself to getting more daily activity and after a few weeks I started to notice that my joints started to feel better, that my muscles were getting stronger and my overall attitude was improving! I spend a lot of time sewing and doing office work and going outside during the winter did NOT sound like fun, so my husband cleared a space in our storage room and he hung a TV on the wall so I could follow along to UA-cam workouts and its been the greatest thing!
Having a few cute and fun workout outfits helps me stay motivated to keep moving!

Girl you had me thinking I was experiencing dejavu knowing I’ve seen you knock this one out of the park before lol but I’m glad you reuploaded it because these came out so cute and ppl need to see . I still say I would be too busy twirling and bust my butt on the treadmill in these lol great job as usual ❤
lol the first time I posted this video it only got a few views so I decided to re-upload it on my regular schedule 😂 plus I really needed a break from editing this week!
@@AlexandriaLayne lol oh ok!! But that’s good for you taking a break !!! You deserve it for how hard you push out content.
super love the skirts! ♥♥
I have been wanting to do this for so long and haven't had the guts, this video inspired me to try thank you 🤣 so far I've made the shorts part and phew it went well, now for the skirt
Thanks for the tip!!
Great idea! Just add more ruffles to the bottom of the legs on the too short ones. Or a "cuff" thats really just separate fabric.
dude I didn't even think about adding a cuff on the bottom! that would be so easy!! and I could just use the fabric from the leggings that I cut off!! thank you!
@@AlexandriaLayne Sweet hope it helps!
OH I LOVE THESE! As someone who loves working out and running I guess I’m gonna have to make some of these for myself! You inspire me so much to try new sewing projects all the time. ❤
if you make one I want to see it!!! send me a picture!!
I am about to do this to full leggings. Thank you for the ideas!
Surely there's like a stretch satin inch-wide trim you could find to extend the coverage of your shorts a bit? Then even if they peek out slightly they will look intentional and finished.
Edit: nevermind! I see another comment suggested a self-cuff from the cutoff bits and that's even better!
they are so cute!! a little short for my personal taste. but I love them on you 😊👍
lol they are short for my Personal taste too 😂😂the first time I put them on to actually work out in them I was SHOCKED at how short they got 😂😂 and I was like, "im never wearing these to the gym" 😂 I want to make a couple more that are longer next!
Thanks!! Love this idea! Also love and follow GrowwithJo workouts!
Great skirts! I can't work out any more, (I'm invalid) but they look pretty nice!
Just as great the second time
lol I am glad you think so!! I really appreciate all your support!
Idk I was thinking you were going to cut up the rest of the leggings to make the skirt. Missed this the first time around. Fun project.
that could actually work if you got creative! might put that on my list of potential sewing videos!
You could also wear your sport skirt with a leotard. That would look close to a skater dress.
They are so cute. They will make workouts chic(er). I think I'm turning into my mother, she made up words too.
starch for static ❤
lol lots and lots of starch!!!
Use some leg material to extend the black skort ❤
suuuuuch a good idea!! lol they really do need to be a bit longer and using the left over material would work really well!
What machine do you use for a double needle finishing seam like that? I have a regular sewing machine and a serger and I thought it was a different machine for those. 😲
Regular machine. You just swap the double needle instead of reg needle. (It's 2 needle points sticking out from one shank like a fork. The shank fits in the regular needle spot.)
@@ReinaElizondo ok thank you!
@@oliviab4799 yup! a regular machine with a double needle works just fine!
@@AlexandriaLayne Thank you! I was taught sewing through quilting so my training did not prepare me for hems lol
Did the length of the shorts avoid the chaffing?
Not even a little bit!! 😂😂 I thought I had cut the leggings short enough to be cute for the skirt but long enough to not chafe my lady thighs but in the end I cut them way to short!! Next time I make workout skirts I will be cutting the leggings just below mid thigh because chaffing sucks!!
@@AlexandriaLayne Aw too bad
Instagram link isn't working
thank you for letting me know! I think I fixed it 😅 fingers crossed!
