LEGGINGS #01

Basic Leggings Pattern (or tights) with a medium waist, best used on 4-way stretchy fabric like cotton lycra, nylon lycra or stretchy mesh. Do not use on jersey stretch though. 

These leggings only have 3 seams (front crotch, back crotch and inner leg seam - ankle to ankle) and 2 hems and a fold-down waist, so it is minimal cutting, only 1 pattern piece and minimal make (low amount of seams and hems).

Perfect for a first project, can be made for sleepwear as well as active wear. 

Best to make on an Overlocker machine, but if you only have a sewing machine, you must use the zig-zag stitch (the normal straight stitch won't 'move' with stretchy fabric, and will snap (you'll hear it when you try them on).
