Great pattern!

Easy to make and clear instructions. The fit was great. I used sizing of hips and it was fine even though my waist is bigger than the measurement I used. See @sew_fuego for making notes!

This pattern is easy to sew but also has lots of options. My new pair is the most comfortable I’ve ever owned I’ll be sewing more!

Favourite Leggings

I love this leggings pattern! So simple and easy to put together, but fits well. I used the yoga band hack from the blog by Holly. I love that this can be used for maternity as well.

Great customer service

I bought this pattern when it first came out. I contacted MN and asked if I could purchase an add on to update it to the new options and on sending proof of my original purchase they sent me the whole pdf version!
All their patterns are great, with good support and help. The Virginia legging pattern is superb especially with the numerous versions included. You won’t need any other leggings pattern!

Great fit and an easy make

I love the variety of waist and length options in this pattern. The instructions are easy to follow and the finished leggings a great fit. I'll be making more.

I’m so pleased with the leggings!

These leggings are a slimmer fit than the ones I purchased last year. They will be particularly suited to wearing under a dress or skirt. Now to trace off patterns to make some for my granddaughters.

Virginia Leggings in Navy Cotton Spandex

I sewed these leggings in one afternoon. The directions are clear and the pattern well designed. It was a satisfying project and I have a new pair of leggings!

Love the Virginia Leggings

I joined my local running club’s marathon training program this summer and realized I needed some new running shorts. Enter the Virginia Leggings. View D are the perfect shorts for me for this purpose. I bought fabric in two different color ways to make 2 pairs for now. I also plan to make View B for my yoga practice. Really love this pattern.

Perfect

I really liked the pattern, Perfect fit and easy instructions (high waist). I made the legs longer for a tall person.

Virginia Leggings

Great fit, clear instructions, useful pattern with four different views from bike shorts to full length leggings.

So Comfy

The cuffed version with the wide waistband is such a comfortable wear in cotton spandex. I feel “tucked “ in but not squished. An easy sew with lots of options for multi season wear.

Love these leggings!

The pattern was easy to follow. So many variations. Quick to sew. I wish I had added the elastic to the wide waistband, but I’ll try that next time.

Simple and efficient

Leggings are easy to sew but, this one makes it look great. All the sew alongs and blog posts about it make it possible to obtain great fit, which can be tricky when sewing with strech fabric. Will make virginia leggings over and over for sure.

Great for the winter!

I love the Virginia leggings patterns. It's quick and easy to sew. I like to make them out of merino wool and for the winter and layer them under dresses and skirts with a pair of wool socks. I also lan on making some out of athletic fabric for working out in.
