Pattern review: Burda 8/2020 leggings 132

 

The pattern

How pretty and sparkly! Lurex makes these leggings special, and the comfy wide waistband plays a supporting role.

Instructions

It's a very easy sew. Sew the center seams (on the bum and on the belly). Then sew the innerleg seam. Add waistband. 

Fit:
I made a 104 (4yo) and it is not as big as other 4yo sizes I've made. It is a pretty good fit as it is. If you have a larger kid, maybe hem the legs after fitting.

Pattern doesn't ask for a elastic in the waistband so make it from a fabric with good recovery. This 100% cotton knit does not, therefore it gets looser during the day. I added an elastic band in the waistband after.

Conclusion

Nice quick legging pattern. I love that there is no side seam on the outer leg.
