I blogged about the pacific here: Pacific Leggings. I’ve been debating whether I like these or the Sewaholic pacific legging better. I think the next time I make them, I’m going to cut the hips and waist at the 14…I think that will be perfect. I made a 2nd pair in a jersey with more spandex and I lowered the front waist a bit and they’re almost perfect. This is a pattern where the leg is made from one piece, so they are super easy to put together. On these, I found that if I cut the calf on the the 16 line, then sewed with a slightly smaller seam allowance, they work! It’s awesome. I have found that my calves are larger than normal and are often too big and wind up pulling the pant down uncomfortably. For the first pair, I used a jersey that I knew didn’t have enough spandex in it, but I really just wanted to check the fit. I started with a 16, added an extra inch or so at the top of the center back. I added on a couple inches to make them full length and I didn’t mess around with the gathering on the side. I know that Burda pants fit me relatively well, so I found their only woman’s legging pattern and picked it up…#7382. I like the look of the relaxed top with some leggings, so first up, I wanted to test out a legging pattern. This has been a fun sewing week for me because I’ve been experimenting with some new styles on me.
