They are not made for crawling around on the floor chasing a 11 month old it seems, lovely big holes on the knees. I&#8217;m running out of bottoms to wear, I can&#8217;t fit into my old jeans &#038; I&#8217;m not really in the mood for spending lots of money on new clothes when my fabric stash is SOOOOO big. <br \/>\nI have this lovely ponte knit that would be perfect for leggings, slighty thicker than the RTW leggings fabric, so it will hopefully last longer. I had a leggings pattern from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burdastyle.com\/pattern_store\/patterns\/carol\">Burdastyle<\/a> already printed &#038; cut out in large. I was thinking of making a muslin first in another knit\/jersey, but it stretched much more than the ponte, so it didn&#8217;t feel worth it &#038; it&#8217;s a leggings pattern, how much could there be to alter.<br \/>\nI should have gone with my gut &#038; made a muslin, oh well! At least I only cut out one leg &#038; basted it to try it on. This pattern is so NOT made for my legs, probably be fine for the skinny-legged people of the world, but not for this pear shaped girl. I could get it on, but my leg looked like an overstuffed sausage, not a good look!<br \/>\nThere is no outer seam on these, so I can still remake it into a front or back leg piece &#038; I have plenty of fabric left.<br \/>\nAnyone got any good tips on a leggings pattern that is roomy in the thigh area?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I had to chuck two more pairs of RTW leggings.
