We will construct these “legging style” pants using either your serger or conventional sewing machine.  The hem and casing at the waist for the elastic requires either a cover stitch machine or conventional sewing machine. 

Optionally, you can make the running belt too.  I recommend it, because it is truly handy if you want to carry phones, money or keys while walking, running, or just hanging out.  I have not made the beanie, but that is also a choice.

I will bring my serger and cover stitch machines for those who may want to try sewing on either one.

Supply List:

Pattern, Jalie Stella Pants, available at KC Maker Studio. 

Serger or sewing machine.  If using your sewing machine, you will need to use ball point needles.

Knit fabric with at least 50% stretch, in the yardage as listed in the pattern.  (1 yard for the shorts, 1 and ½ yards for the long leggings, ½ yard each for the belt and beanie.

All purpose sewing thread and/or 4 cones of serger thread. 

1” wide elastic (See pattern for yardage.)

General sewing supplies and accessories i.e. scissors, ripper, tape measure, removable fabric marker, sewing pins and/or clips, etc.

Pre-class Homework:

Determine the size you would like to make and trace the pattern on pattern making fabric such as Pattern Ease.  If you choose to cut your pattern apart you will forfeit any use of all the different sizes included. 

Pre-wash your fabric in the manner you will be laundering your leggings.
