How to
Before you start sewing, make sure to pre-wash and dry your fabric. This will prevent any shrinkage or color bleeding down the line. Now, let's get to it!
- Cut out your pattern pieces according to your size.
- With right sides together, sew the panels to the front and back pieces of the leggings.
- Next, sew the inseam seams.
- Then, sew the crotch seam.
- Now, it's time to attach the waistband. Fold the elastic in half and pin it to the top of the leggings, matching the raw edges.
- Sew the elastic to the leggings, stretching it slightly as you sew. This will make the waistband snug but not too tight.
- Last but not least, hem the bottoms of the leggings to your desired length.
And voila! You now have a pair of high-waisted panel leggings that will make all your friends jealous. Plus, you made them yourself, which means they're one-of-a-kind and totally unique.
