Legging Drafting Tutorials

I started my sewing journey with leggings. My girl likes leggings and most of her wardrobe has leggings. Since I don't want to mess fabrics, I have started sewing leggings first. These are the following websites I have followed to sew leggings. After sewing more than 10 leggings, now I can say I love to draft leggings and sew them instead of tracing the existing leggings.

  1. I have started my sewing journey with this tutorial from dana : Ruched Leggings I had made leggings using my T shirt and it ended up as a mess. Struggled what to do and how to do :)


  2. Here is another legging tutorial and pattern form Scattered Thoughts of Crafty Mom : Flounce Bottom Leggings Tutorial with free pattern . I love this website, it has great tutorials and it is very easy to follow.

The problem with drafting leggings from readymade leggings is there is too much show in back. My girl is not conscious yet and when she bends we can have sneak peak at her innerwear. I don't want that so I started looking for drafting the leggings and came across these wonderful tutorials...


  1. This is drafting legging patterns from Stretch Yourself : Drafting and Sewing Leggings I have drafted this legging pattern. But I made some mistake while taking measurements and ended in wrong drafting. But I'm sure this is very good drafting pattern. I will update after re drafting my girls legging pattern.


  2. I have tried so sew easy leggings drafting tutorial and it works. But I need some more changes to fit.


  3. I have bookmarked this leggings drafting tutorial on etsy and have yet to try. When I get some time will draft legging pattern using this. This looks so promising as she is an sewing instructor.
