Made for Mermaids Sewing Patterns are digital downloads. You will print OR project them at home, OR send them to a copy shop to print. This is not a physical garment or pattern and nothing will be mailed to you. The Lottie leggings are designed with fun and flattering seaming throughout. They feature a 4” wide waistband with angled seaming at the waist and a pointed back design for a sculpted, flattering fit. The lined waistband sits at the natural waist for comfortable support. A curved inset pocket, perfectly sized for your phone, adds practicality, while a triangle gusset ensures ease of movement. Choose from a 7/8 or full-length option. Whether you’re heading to the gym, dance class, lounging at home, or wearing them for everyday comfort, Lottie is the perfect go-to legging.

Skill level: Confident beginner – sewing the inset curved pocket will be the most difficult for a true beginner. Suggested Fabrics: •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit. •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit. •Drafted for medium weight knits (200gsm ) with 4-way stretch, great recovery, and a minimum 50% horizontal stretch, and 50% vertical stretch. Look for high spandex content, 5% minimum, but I prefer 12%-25%. Note- the higher spandex content and heavier weight knits (250gsm ) will feel tighter and give more compression. •Peached performance fabric is by far my favorite fabric for Emmy. It is 370gsm, 87% polyester, 13% spandex. It has 100% horizontal stretch and 100% vertical stretch. •Other options will be a ribbed athletic knit, athletic brushed poly, or other athletic knits, etc. •I like to self line my Lottie waistband, but you could also use another similar weight athletic knit for the lining. You do not want to use a different weight or stretch fabric for the lining, it will not work well. Notions: •Optional- 1/4″ clear elastic to add support to the waistband. •Optional- 1/2″ wonder under or knit hem tape •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge, safety pin or bodkin, and marking tool. Ball point, stretch, or jersey needle. 5 PDF sizes included (all files include layers): •Photo tutorial file: 21 pages. •Print at home, trimless format in sizes: •US (8.5″ x 11″) Pattern pieces: 22 pages. •A4 (8.25″ x 11.75″) Pattern pieces: 23 pages. •A0/Copy shop (33.1″ x 46.8″) There are 2 A0 pages. •Projector File with 2″ and 4cm measuring squares.
