CLARA High-Waisted Leggings

Description

We revisited the classic leggings pattern and updated it with ingenious seaming (no center front seam!) and a gusset. View A has a wide contoured waistband. View B is finished with an elastic at the waist. Three length options: mid-thigh shorts, capri, ankle.

No way to adjust for heavier legs

Instructions and construction techniques both good. I have heavy legs and was a bit concerned no thigh measurements were given for such a close fitting garment, but went ahead and cut my size figuring my high quality 70% stretch supplex fabric would make up for any minor fit variations. The leggings turned out so tight I literally couldn't get them on. If thigh measurements had been supplied I wouldn't have wasted my time and my fabric.

Love, love, love this pattern!

I absolutely love this pattern. A quick, easy sew and a great fit. The high waist is really comfy and hides the mummy tummy well. The only thing I could ask for is a small pocket, maybe on the inside, to put my keys in when I go running. I added one myself, but it would be a huge bonus if it was included in the pattern.

Never buy another pair of leggings again.

These are PERFECT! The high waist, the elastic treatment on the waist, the smooth finish, the ease of sewing, the size range...Do yourself a favor and buy this pattern and then never buy another pattern or pair of leggings again.

Side seam free leggings!

I love how smooth these leggings are! A very flattering fit. It can be tricky to do the gusset in the smaller sizes, so some patience is needed there. <a href="https://auschick.wordpress.com/2018/06/17/jalie-clara-leggings-adele-flutter-sleeve-top/">I've written more about this pattern on my blog over here</a>.

I love this pattern!!

These are the most comfortable and best fitting leggings that I own! I will never buy store bought leggings again. I have a bit of a belly and they just slim everything down and hold it in place. Just perfect!

Perfect Fit Leggings!

These leggings were so quick and easy to make and no alterations were necessary! I made the wide waistband option with the cropped length. The instructions and diagrams were very easy to follow and even a beginner will not have a problem with the gusset pattern piece.
