Leggings!

We are running low on leggings around here (they kind of disappear like socks…)  I have bunch of great knits in my stash, so I thought I would throw together a few more pairs for spring.

I made these using my Basic Legging Tutorial (the tutorial includes a free printable pattern.)  Be sure to bookmark this pattern, now that I have learned how to create multiple pages in one pdf document, I am going to add more sizes and improve the pattern – and the pattern will still be free. (I’ll announce the size addition on my blog, so if you follow, you’ll know when I have updated the pattern.)

DIY Leggings

***Update****  

To make your own leggings, use the free legging pattern here:

Free Legging, shorts and Capri in sizes 3 to 12.

(get a flounced capri version here)

I am loving these coral/peach leggings!  Such a hot color right now and she already has a couple of tops that have this color in them.

She wore the pink striped leggings to school today.    I made them especially to go with her Cascading Ruffle Peasant top. (click for that free pattern.)

Be sure to check out all my tutorials in the drop down menu at the top of the page!

My favorite fabric shop for knits:  Funkalicious Fabrics.

  2. My Serger: Brother 1034D 3 or 4 Thread Serger or you can just use Pinking Shears
  3. Rotary Cutter
  4. I love my large ruler and large cutting mat, but you may prefer to start of with a smaller Cutting set

  6. Ball Point needles
  7. Singer walking foot or universal walking foot
  8. Blind hem foot.

    Thanks for linking up at The DIY Dreamer… From Dream To Reality! See you tomorrow evening! 🙂

  3. Ummm… I think I may make a few for myself. lol. But seriously, GREAT JOB! My boys need long john type things to keep their little legs warm while outside. Your post has inspired me. I think I may use a legging pattern to make them. Thank you so much for sharing!

  4. So cute! I love the colors you chose! Thanks for sharing at The Gunny Sack!

  5. cute, cute, cute! I wish adults could wear brightly colored leggings like kids and totally get away with it. Just a thought 🙂

  6. Ummm… CUTE!!! Love this. My go to outfit for my babe is a onesie and leggings. I've made some pj pants, and baby leg warmers for her but not full on leggings yet. I must try. I'm not sure that your pattern will work for my 9 month old but you've totally inspired me!

  7. I'm just learning how to sew. These seem simple enough for a beginner…I tried making something more complicated but it didn't turn out so great. Will definitely try these.

  8. You are quite talented! My skills are in the kitchen, not the sewing machine. Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven to say hi!
    xo,

  11. I've been sewing for years, both for family

    wonderful. Love the leggins!
