I got so mad when I was spending a lot of money on LLR and the leggings didn’t quite fit right and were super poorly constructed. That sick day when I noticed that last May was the start of a summer of sewing my own clothes. 🙂 I don’t have anything besides my Halloween costume that I’ve completed since, but I haven’t really had the time and you only really need so many clothes right?
Leggings are hard. Is it so much to ask for ones that are not see through, don’t ride up/down, fit well, and don’t cost a fortune? Turns out it’s not if you make them yourself but otherwise not a chance. I messaged one of my best friends from college that day and asked her about the leggings pattern she’d used because I knew it was very popular on Facebook. It’s Peg Legs by Patterns for Pirates and it’s free. They have even more step by step instructions for pegs than what’s in the pattern itself on their blog as well.
This is the pattern and all related add ons – all free – and I’ll only make them with the contoured waistband now. 🙂
I have to add that for some people, pegs just don’t fit. YMMV, so I’ll offer this alternative. I have never made them, but this is one that a lot of people love that’s also free but requires a code from their Facebook group.
