Jill has sensory issues. Seams in clothing are a nightmare. The latest problem is her gymnastics leotard. She will wear only one. The plain Jane one that came free with our yearly registration fee. The one I can not purchase a duplicate of. The one I can find no others like. My solution? To make her some leotards. I can sew. It is a simple pattern. It should be no problem. Except, trying finding spandex or lycra in JoAnn's Fabrics.
At the first shop, I approached a kind looking, grandmotherly woman. The look on her face when I asked if they carried spandex or lycra was a mix between embarrassment and horror. It was enough to evoke a quick explanation of the leotard problem. By the third shop with no luck, I was tired of the long-winded story of seams and materials and fits.
"Do you have any lyrca or spandex?"
Again I was met with a look of shock, followed by disgust.
I smiled. I tilted my head to the side. I giggled.
"I need it for work," I said with a wink.

You're a bad, bad, girl. I love it!
Just tell them your boyfriend is demanding spandex tights to wear while doing his Jane Fonda workout.
Kenny would look hot in spandex. Even better, I am making Daniel spandex tights.
Good for you!
Those fabric store people are so nosy. I used to be so overwhelmed when I'd simply say I was making just throw pillows.
Like I should be making some grand quilt or something.
The comment about Kenny and Sheri's husband wearing spandex almost made me keel over laughing.
