Pattern Description: Short tights with inseam panel for greater comfort, elastic waist and contrasting insert at side front.

Pattern Sizing:I measured hip size, and then went up a size, as I have found other Jalie leggings to be a bit on the tight side.

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?Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?Nice change on plain leggins.

Fabric Used:Aqualife, a chlorine resistant lycra.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:Left out the lining. Extra contrast panel at back waist, because I was short of fabric.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes and yes! Wonder why I haven't made it up before.

Conclusion: A great pattern that I'm sure I will make over and over.

Very nice and the contrast side and back provides a nice design detail.
