I’ve been sewing a lot of these workout leggings lately, and wanted to hop in and give a quick review! They have quickly become my go-to pattern when I need a pair of workout leggings in a hurry.
The pattern is brought to you by one of the best athletic PDF pattern makers out there- Greenstyle Creations. It features 5 different hem lengths- shorts, Capri, cropped, long, and extra-long. You can also choose to add a gusset, which is a triangular shape, or make them with no gusset.
There is an optional hidden waistband pocket as well. As if that weren’t enough to make it a great pattern, you can do inserts on the front, or in the back of the knee, or both! Or you can just leave them as plain leggings. Sometimes when you have fabric you want to really showcase, the plain option is best. That’s what I opted to do with this striped fabric, pictured below.
(This is striped supplex from The Styled Magnolia Custom Fabrics. )
I’m 5’7″, which is what the patterns are drafted for- lucky me! I made a pair out of nylon spandex (also from The Styled Magnolia) and used the extra-long cut line so I could do a fun split hem.
One modification I do when making these is to increase the waistband height. After having 3 kids, things are not as tight as they once were around my midsection, and raising the waistband helps to hold everything in, especially when using compressive fabrics. I typically add 1-1.5″ to the normal height.
The pattern has very detailed and easy to follow instructions, so whether you’re a beginner or a pro, or somewhere in between, this is a great pattern for you. You can snag it with my link here.
If you end up sewing yourself a pair, or 5 of Inspires, I’d love to see them!
Happy Sewing!
