Versatile legwear

Legwear that covers a users leg below the knee and above the foot, said legwear being made by the method comprising:

• a.) making a panel of material according to the steps of:
• i.) selecting a first sheet of material having an outer and an inner face;
• ii.) forming a portion of said first sheet of material into a shape that is defined between a top edge and a bottom edge and that is also defined between oppositely located side edges that are between said top edge and said bottom edge, each of said side edges defining a concave shape for said material, the spacing between said side edges being greatest at the position of at least one of said top edge or said bottom edge, and the spacing between said side edges being the smallest at a position between the midpoint between said top edge and said bottom edge on one side edge and the midpoint between said top edge and said bottom edge on the other side edge where a tangent to the curvature of one side edge is parallel to a tangent to the curvature of the other side edge;
• iii.) selecting a second sheet of material having an outer and an inner face;
• iv.) forming a portion of said second sheet of material into a shape that is defined between a top edge and a bottom edge and that is also defined between oppositely located side edges that are between said top edge and said bottom edge, each of said side edges defining a concave shape for said material, the spacing between said side edges being greatest at the position of at least one of said top edge or said bottom edge, and the spacing between said side edges being the smallest at a position between the midpoint between said top edge and said bottom edge on one side edge and the midpoint between said top edge and said bottom edge on the other side edge where a tangent to the curvature of one side edge is parallel to a tangent to the curvature of the other side edge, said second sheet of material being sized such that the edges of the second sheet of material coincide with the respective edges of the first sheet of material;
• v.) arranging the first and second shapes together with the outer face of the first sheet opposing the outer face of the second sheet;
• vi.) fastening the two shapes of material together along each of said side edges and along one of said top side or said bottom side;
• vii.) passing the fastened edge of said top side or said bottom side between the unfastened edges of the other of said top side or said bottom side such that the inner face of the first sheet opposes the inner face of said second sheet;
• and
• viii.) securing the other of said top side or said bottom side together;
• and
• b.) installing a first part of a closure along one of the side edges of said panel and a second part of said closure along the other of the said edges of said panel such that, at times when the parts of said closure are connected together, the panel defines an opening along the top edge of said panel and another opening along the bottom edge of said panel.

A method for making legwear that covers below the knee and above the foot, said method comprising:

• a.) making a panel of material according to the steps of:
• i.) selecting a first sheet of material having an outer and an inner face;
• ii.) forming the first sheet of material into a shape that is defined between a top edge and a bottom edge and between oppositely located side edges that are between said top edge and said bottom edge, each of said side edges defining a concave shape for said material, the spacing between said side edges being greatest at the position of at least one of said top edge or said bottom edge, and the spacing between said side edges being the smallest at a position between the midpoint between said top edge and said bottom edge on one side edge and the midpoint between said top edge and said bottom edge on the other side edge, where a tangent to the curvature of the one side edge is parallel to a tangent to the curvature of the opposite side edge;
• iii.) selecting a second sheet of material having an outer and an inner face;
• iv.) forming the second sheet of material into a shape that is defined between a top edge and a bottom edge and between oppositely located side edges that are between said top edge and said bottom edge, the spacing between said side edges being greatest at the position of at least one of said top edge or said bottom edge, and the spacing between said side edges being the smallest at a position between the midpoint between said top edge and said bottom edge on one side edge and the midpoint between said top edge and said bottom edge on the other side edge where a tangent to the curvature of the one side edge is parallel to a tangent to the curvature of the opposite side edge, said second shape being sized to be equivalent to said first shape such that the top and bottom edges of said first shape coincide with the top and bottom edges of said second shape and the side edges of said first shape coincide with the respective side edges of said second shape;
• v.) arranging the first and second shapes together with the outer face of the first shape opposing the outer face of the second shape;
• vi.) fastening the two shapes of material together along each of said side edges and along one of said top edge or said bottom edge;
• vii.) passing the fastened edge of said top edge or said bottom edge between the unfastened edges of the other of said top edge or said bottom edge such that the inner face of the first sheet opposes the inner face of said second sheet;
• and
• viii.) securing the other of said top edges or said bottom edges together;
• and
• b.) installing part of a closure along one side edge of said panel and installing a second part of said closure along the other side edge of said panel such that, at times when the parts of said closure are connected together, the panel defines an opening along the top edge of said panel and another opening along the bottom edge of said panel.
