Two easy sewing patterns for kids from 3 to 12 years old.
2 shapes: leggings for very stretchy materials (such as jersey or stretch rib) or jegging for medium stretchy materials (such as fleece or French terry with elastane)
3 lengths: long, 3/4 or short. No side seams
Ankle bands or hems depending on length
Waistband with inserted elastic or fancy elastic as a waistband
2 patterns for comfortable outfits, essential for the homewear or sports wardrobe.
The leggings have finished measurements that are narrower than your body measurements in order to be form-fitting. The pattern is worked in negative ease; the fabric will relax well and fit the body.
The jegging has measurements very close to the body. The medium-stretch fabric used to make them will stretch slightly. The jegging will therefore be slightly tight and comfortable. The shape is somewhere between leggings and jogging trousers.
Skill level: beginner
The leggings/jegging is quick and easy to sew as it has only a few pieces. It is therefore a perfect project for a beginner.
What you will learn with these patterns: how to assemble an elastic as waistband or a band with inserted elastic, how to make ankle bands or double needle hems.
Fabrics:
-
Leggings: very stretchy fabric. Jersey, rib, openwork, with elastane
-
Jegging: medium stretch fabric. Fleece or French terry with elastane
-
Caution: 100% cotton fabrics (without elastane), even stretchy, can poke at the knees when worn and will be uncomfortable
-
Ribbing is recommended for the ankle band of long jeggings. Otherwise, make ankle bands in the main fabric.
