JESSICA Leggings with side pocket
Leggings for people on the move, in which you will feel secure and confident.
A wide waistband that hits above the belly button, a practical pocket on the side of the leg, big enough for a phone, seaming that allows for fun color blocking to create illusions and play with the silhouette.

Can't tell they're home made. Lululemon would charge $100 for these.
This pattern is well-drafted and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I made a size W with no alterations and they fit perfectly and stay up when running. The pocket is big enough for my old iPhone 6+! I made the full leggings and also used this pattern to make a pair of shorts that hit an inch above my knees. I have plans for many more uses for this pattern!
It is way more compressive than I expected. Yikes. ALL my cellulite on display.
No thanks for me.
On the good side, beautifully designed, easy to read instructions, and it looks just like what one would see in the shops.
I just need a better body to wear it.
I have measured exactly a size "U". Waist fits perfect. But hip and legs are to small. I had to add afterwards a 5 cm bride stripe from leg to leg. In length I added 6 cm.
Overall nevertheless a great design. Next leggings will be a mix made from size "U" for the waist and "W" to fit the but and legs.
These came together very well. Notches lined up and helped keep the pieces in order. Clear illustrations help with cutting a color blocked design. Pockets are perfect.
The waistband construction was a little unclear. Instructions show a straight stitch joining inner and outer bands, but that seam needs to stretch over my hips. I’ll be changing that in future versions.
Definitely recommend the pattern. I made a AA/BB hybrid and found my size gave me a smooth fit with light compression. The rise is quite high as shown in photos. Easy to adjust to your preferred height.
