Urban Legs Shorts & Legging Sewing Pattern

Very easy to understand where to grade and change these leggings to get the best fit. I added length to the front for my belly and added length to the shorts for a mid thigh length. Photos are before the final cut and hem on the legs

I've made 3 pairs of urban legs so far.
The first two I wear under my dresses as 'chub rub' shorts and the 3rd is a simple black pair of cycling shorts.
Come autumn/winter I know I'll be making the longer length.
They sew together so quickly and even though I haven't needed to yet there are lots of instructions on how to adapt to the pattern to fit your shape.

Most easy pattern and so quick to make. Love Ellie & Mac pattens this is one of those extremely quick I need a pair of leggings!
Don’t be afraid of stretch!
Now have totally unique leggings and no costly price for something different

I used my projector to cut this pattern and sewed it up in record time. I think I had to size up because the calfs were too tight in the XL and I did short cuff instead of a hem. The instructions were easy to follow. I love when people put step by step pictures im a visual learner.

I was scared to make leggings , I just made a pair today 1st time beyond easy. I will adjust waist to be higher but fit was spot on in length and hugging my leggs.

Great pattern, I’ve made leggings for all the girls in my family, I love all the patterns Iv downloaded, my new one is the knickers, still to try it, but looking forward to starting it 😃

Such an easy sew and if you opt for the yoga waistband and cuffs, no hemming!

Love them!!! Made out of repurposed summer maxi dress

Made these with leftover material and was surprised of how easy and quick they were to put together. The wide band, gradable inseam and calf allowed me to adjust my leggings just right. I have a bunch of fabrics that has been put aside to make a ton of these to get me through the winter!

I like this pattern. It fits very good. I have already made three sport leggings.

Ive made the shorts and they were super easy and very cute!

These leggings are perfect! Love the high waistband option. Easy sew and perfect fit

I love this pattern the only issue I have is the waist. The waist band seems big and I have had to alter the the waist band yo fit comfortable.

The instructions were relatively easy to follow. A small issue was when finished the waist was a few inches below where it should be even with the high waist pattern.

Nice pattern

friend was pleased with this product

These are so easy right from printing! Only took a couple minutes to tape them together, no cutting until you need to cut out the pattern one huge reason why I love Ellie & Mac and the best part is the fit seems to always be spot on even with kids patterns! These I made the pants version and they are so comfy it's incredible, the tutorial is step by step so easy to follow and very helpful even if your a pro!! I can't get enough patterns from here I love them all!

Great pattern , easy for beginners.

These leggings were so easy to make and looking forward to making more.

Love the fit. Pocket markings don’t line up with pocket size when finished. I made my own adjustments.

This pattern was straight forward and easy to use. It fits my body perfectly. Now I can make my own leggings using cotton spandex instead of buying the polyester leggings that pill.

Made up my first urban leggings in denim jersey finished just under the knee - my favourite length. Really comfortable.

Facile à faire même pour une débutante. J'adore ces leggings courts d'entraînement ! :-)

Very simple, instructions clear, thank you

I was making these for my daughter who is a plus size. I sent her the sizing chart and she told me that based on the measurements given she would need an XL. I was skeptical, but did as she requested. NO WAY close to the right size. I had to make the 4XL to get the size she needed. And, yes, I did test the stretch of the fabric before I started. Fortunately, I had enough fabric to make the second pair. 😕
