Kids Sunshine Leggings Sewing Pattern

I made these leggings for my daughter for Thanksgiving. They turned out so cute! Very simple pattern and easy directions to follow. I also love the trimless pages

The Kids Sunshine Leggings are an absolute winner in my sewing pattern stash. I’ve made these and every time, they’re a hit! The fit is spot-on, with no saggy knees or baggy bums—even after serious playground action.

It comes together so quickly that it’s ideal for last-minute makes (you know, like when a growth spurt hits overnight). I love that it works with smaller fabric cuts too, making it perfect for stash busting or upcycling.

As always, Ellie and Mac’s instructions are clear, encouraging, and beginner-friendly. If you're new to sewing stretch fabrics, this pattern is a great confidence booster. And the multiple rise options? Chef’s kiss. 👌

This pattern is sunshine in PDF form—easy, versatile, and guaranteed to be sewn on repeat.

Another simple to follow pattern. Have made two pairs so far. More to come

Easy sew and great fit made my 43yr old daughter size 14 kids perfect for her Also shorts for grandies size 6

This pattern is a staple everyone must have. It’s a fast make even for beginners. Made multiple pairs of shorts in less time than driving to the store and back.

I made these leggings for my granddaughters who are VERY active young ladies. I put a second layer of fabric at the knees and added pockets on both sides per their request. The pattern was easy to work with. The alterations made it more challenging! I used the kids Be Creative Hoodie pattern with short sleeves and the cowl neck to create a matching top.

A quick and easy make, love this pattern 👍

Very recommended pattern, easy to follow and sew.

I am intermediate at sewing and this was a fairly quick sew. The directions are easy to follow. Although, I didn’t realize that there are two different lengths at first. One for regular and then the ruched ankle option. The seams are a bit odd on this pattern as well. They are more towards the front than instead of being on the sides if that makes sense. But my daughter really loves them! Thanks for another great pattern!

I’ve only made the size 4 so far but they’re easy & cute.

These came together so quickly. I love the optional ruching, such a nice feature! They're pretty fitted so if your baby has chunky thighs you might want to size up in the legs

They are so cute and easy to make

I made several pair for my granddaughter a friend's granddaughter. They love them. Easy pattern to follow and a good fit.

Great pattern, easy to sew

Came together nicely but found the sizing small. Slender daughter age 6 needs age 8 in these. Also I find they sit a little low around the waist so will tweak that next time.

I love these leggings! Perfect for my little girl 👧

I made the 18th size leggings and they were tiny. Really tiny. They would possibly have fit a 6 week old baby.

Great pattern

Very simple and clear pattern, but the sizing is tiny! I cut to an 18 mths size. The leggings would probably fit a 3 month old. Will mar again but in a much larger pattern size.

I haven’t gotten a chance to make them yet but I love your patterns

I just made a pair of long leggings and two pairs of shorts for my granddaughter, and I love the pattern…she loves the garments! Nice pattern, clear instructions, sizing seems great. I can see many more of these in our future ❤️

This is an quick easy sew and was a good fit for my grand daughters. I can see it becoming a staple. Thank you for a useful pattern.

These leggings fit my grand daughter perfectly! I made both a long and short pair of pants for her. She is four and she said they “feel nice.” I will be making her some more!

My daughter loved these!

Great pattern! Easy to follow, fits true to size.
