Ooohh shiny!
The pattern called for 1.6m to make the full length with mid rise waistband pair in the largest size so I decided to get 1.8m just to be double safety sure with the higher waistband, which was POINTLESS. I only ended up using, 1.3m and that was with the higher waistband. Maybe if I had to pattern match I would have used the 1.6m but now I have half a metre of lycra sitting unused, so if anyone has any ideas of what to do with it, hit me up!
The leggings themselves were easy enough to make, although I had to use a zigzag stitch on my regular machine since my overlocker was acting the goat. The waistband was a bit on the fiddly side to put on, but overall not too bad! Here is a very unclear picture of the finished product, I don't have a full length mirror so I had to prop my phone on my chair and put the timer on haha!
Are they not amazing?! But, while I was browsing the site, I found the perfect fabric for visiting home...
FREEDOM!!!
SCOTLAND!!!! YASSSSS!!! *ahem* Anyway... overall this was a good wee project, even though I lost the battle with my overlocker. I will definitely be making more pairs of these and if anyone ever wants to buy my love, I take Funki Fabrics vouchers 😉😉

2/5 because the waistband is a bit fiddly
Wow! There are so many prints in these. Even I bought some printed carbon38 leggings last week. I prefer printed ones because it helps in hiding the garment line underneath. Good to have come across this post. I can shop more for it.
