Hey June Sloan Legging PDF Pattern

Equally perfect for your morning run or your morning coffee run, the comfy and stylish Sloan Leggings come with a ton of options so you get a hard-working, versatile pattern and more bang for your buck! There are separate patterns for tall, regular, and petite inseams, and you can make each in full, 3/4, or capri length. View A is a well-fitting pair of solid leggings, while View B features a fun 3-part leg with tons of color-blocking options. Try a contrast fabric for the center leg to create racing stripes, use just one fabric for all pieces to emphasize the seam design, or go crazy and combine 3 different fabrics! Boring leggings will be a thing of the past.

The secret star of the show is the shaped waistband, which is interfaced to make it comfortably snug with a flattering fit. This separate waistband piece provides a comfier and smoother fit under dresses and tunics than your average elastic-waisted leggings. There are instructions to include optional elastic in the upper waistband seam, which ensure the leggings stay on even during intense exercise. There is also an optional media pocket built into the waistband to hold your mp3 player, phone, ID, credit card, etc while you're out and about! The pocket is designed to be narrower at the opening and then wider within the waistband so none of your valuables fall out while exercising. Although the Sloan Leggings were designed for working out, there’s no reason you can’t make them up in a basic solid or a fun print and wear them every day; they are equally cute with flats, heels, or boots. You can even wear them under your regular pants as an added layer of warmth in winter!
