 CUT OUT MATERIALS
SEAM ALLOWANCE IS INCLUDED
AND LISTED ON PATTERN

2 legs
1 waistband

1 drawstring cut 42” (106 cm)

long
I LIKE USING A 2” WIDE PIECE
OF THE FABRIC

START SEWING

1 If you will be hemming

with your sewing machine,
serge across the bottom
hem of the legs

MAKE SURE THE SERGED SEAM

IS LOOSE SO YOU CAN EASILY
PULL IT OVER YOUR FOOT

2 Serge each inseam closed

on the legs, right sides of
fabric together

Prepared exclusively for J.j.B. Gayantha Siriwardhana ([email protected]) Order: 240040

3 Turn one leg
right-side-out

Place the right-side-out leg

inside the inside out leg.
Line up the crotch seam

Serge the crotch seam

closed in a ‘U’ shape

Prepared exclusively for J.j.B. Gayantha Siriwardhana ([email protected]) Order: 240040

 Pull the leg out and leggings should
look like this

4 Fold waistband
grainline

in half, parallel to the

grainline. Right sides
of fabric together.
Serge closed along
the end

Fold waistband
in half the opposite
way so wrong sides
of fabric are
together, the seam
is hidden and you
formed a circular
band

Prepared exclusively for J.j.B. Gayantha Siriwardhana ([email protected]) Order: 240040

 Place waistband
inside the leggings
waist (leggings are still
inside out)

THE FOLDED EDGE OF THE

WAISTBAND WILL BE TO
THE INSIDE AND THE RAW
EDGES WILL LINE UP WITH
THE RAW WAIST

Pin waistband notch

to center front
legging seam

Pin waistband seam

to center back
legging seam

While stretching
the waistband
evenly to fit the waist,
serge it on in
a full circle

PULL WAISTBAND OUT

TO LOOK LIKE THIS

5 Turn leggings right side

out now, fold the ankle
hems inside 3/4” (2cm)
and hem around the top
with your double
needle, zig-zag stitch
or coverstitich
MAKE SURE THE SEAM ISN’T
TOO TIGHT SO IT CAN STRETCH
OVER YOUR FOOT

Prepared exclusively for J.j.B. Gayantha Siriwardhana ([email protected]) Order: 240040

6 At the center front
of your waistband,
clip 2 tiny holes
about 1”(2.5cm)
apart. Only
through the
first layer

Thread your drawstring

through the waistband
with a safety pin and knot
the ends to the length you like

Sew over
the drawstring
at the center
back waist
so it won’t
come out

IRON LEGGINGS AND

YOU ARE DONE!
