Sewing a pair of leggings is really empowering. The Tino leggings will help you build your skills and keep you comfortable, whether you wear them for a workout or lounging on the couch.
Tino features a high rise, wide waistband, gusset, and side panels with pockets—because who doesn’t love pockets? Sew these leggings in medium-weight knits with 4-way stretch and at least 60% stretch, such as cotton spandex, bamboo jersey, rayon jersey, or nylon spandex.
Krystal is wearing size 14 Tino leggings lengthened by 1 inch. Her measurements are 41 1/2 inches, 34 inches, 42 1/2 inches, and she is 5 feet, 9 inches tall.
This fabric is Supplex Stretch Knit and Power Stretch Mesh from Fabric.com.
Fabric & Fit
Fabrics to shop: It’s important to use a fabric that has 4-way stretch and good recovery, or these leggings won’t let you bend and move. It’s also important to use a fabric with at least 60% stretch so that you can move comfortably. Have fun with color-blocking the pockets!
Fabrics to avoid: Avoid fabrics that become transparent when they stretch as well as knits that don’t have enough spandex for proper recovery, such as most cotton jerseys.
Fit: These leggings conform to your body and stretch with your body when you move, which is why there is negative ease in the pattern. The rise is high, and the hem hits at the ankle. Compare your body’s measurements to both the misses and curvy size ranges.
