Learn how to draft your very own pattern for a custom pair of leggings, using your measurements, taken from your body, as the foundation. You'll be the designer and decide on ankle, calf or knee length, high or low waist... whatever your heart desires. Cal will show you how to take your measurements and explain the concept of "negative ease." Then you will transfer those measurements to paper with a little patternmaking mojo. At the end of this workshop, you'll be ready for Cal's workshop on sewing leggings from your freshly-drafted, custom pattern. Download the Measurements Worksheet PDF before you begin – to assist in getting proper measurements.

I love how concise Cal is in her pattern drafting, while not making it too difficult for a beginner to understand how and where the measurements are being used.

Great for beginners! I redid the whole procedure twice, I hope I understood well (my English is not perfect but the teacher is fortunately very clear)... I can't wait to sew a muslin to see the result.
