    Fun and simple project with impressive results.

  54. Sarah Yuhr –

    Absolutely a wonderful pattern that ANY beginner can do! This was a super quick sew in less than 30 mins (going slow) from the time you printed the pattern to finish. I will make MANY MORE! Both my kiddos love the leggings!

  55. Lisa Corriveau –

    These leggings are super simple to make. Even with a striped fabric that I had to match carefully, they only took an hour to sew up. I’ll definitely be making more of them as my daughter is growing like a weed. They are quite snug fitting, so if you want some growing room, I’d size up.

  56. Jenni Elizabeth Early –

    These are such a super-fun sew! The leggings by themselves are so quick, even more so than traditional leggings with the exposed elastic. 30 minutes cut to done, and that’s with changing the thread on my coverstitch. Plus the shorts overlay makes these leggings so distinctive, adding extra options to this simple pattern. 4 different leggings lengths, with or without shorts, and the shorts by themselves makes nine different options! I think I’ll make them all 🙂

    This legging pattern is fantastic and such an easy sew.

  58. Chiara Kruse –

    My little girl needed shorts for under her dresses and walk around the house. Not the sport shorts, but leggings, and these are perfect for her. She can jump and play and loves them. Nice and easy pattern

  68. Geraldine Tan –

    Super easy and fast sew. My first attaching a elastic band to the top of the leggings. Saves time having to insert one in:)
