Last night (Saturday) I decided to try and make some socks! I wanted them to be able to be attached to the corset so added I added loops at the top, attaching them also stopped the socks slipping down as they are not very stretchy.
I would have liked to sew them with a rolled edge over lock as this is a quick, cheap and efficient way of sewing them but the university doesn't have one :( Instead I finished them with a french seam which is usually more for sheer delicate fabrics but worked just as well (although there was a little bulk created).The cotton fabric is very warm and feels good on the skin.

| pinning on me cause I got no other way! |
 |
| Unfolded pattern unusual shape! ha |
|
 |
| Cleaned up pattern and doubled. |
 |
| French seams but would use rolled over lock for mass production. |
 |
| Upturned and tacked sock ends. |
 |
| Final socks/tights |
Also tested out putting hole into this knit, It didn't cause the fabric to warp dramatically which is great. Also tried stitching edge. If I make more stockings I think I would like to explore putting holes into them like I did in my original sketches.
