Pattern Description: Leggings for 4-Way Stretch

Pattern Sizing: I made a medium. The pattern is XS-XL

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love that there's once piece (+ a gusset, but that's really small) - no side seam.

Fabric Used: Swimsuit. I originally intended for these to be for backpacking where one gets rained on and sweaty and dirty.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I added thigh pockets. This idea came from a fantastic SkirtSports garment I have called "The Sweetest Thing Capri Skirt." I also used a drawstring w/casing instead of elastic. The others I have made have elastic, but I found no benefit to that and this actually looks tidier on the inside.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I have sewn it a bunch of times.

Conclusion: These pants are too neat to wear backpacking, so I wear them with a navy miniskirt over them. I also made the mini-skirt, but there's really no pattern to review because I didn't use one.

Buy this pattern for $11.49     Add to Bag Add to Bag
