PATTERN REVIEW: BURDA 8/2020 LEGGINGS 132 V8

  

 

Perfect for scraps. I made matching outfits for my kids including this legging

The pattern

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

The fabric

• ca 0,5 meter of knit jersey in solid green
• some elastic in the waist.

Cutting the fabric.

This size needs to be 50 cm wide as one leg is one piece, so that is a relative wide part. 

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. Pattern doesn't ask for a elastic in the waistband so make it from a fabric with good recovery. I did add an elastic band in these leggings.

Fit:

Add some length in the legs and hem after fitting. The legs are also rather tight. Perhaps add some for comfortable wearing.

Conclusion:

Love the legging pattern. It is quick, but due to no outerleg seam the pieces are rather large.
