Yes, but it's recommended to use a medium-weight woven cotton spandex blend or a mid to heavy weight knit for leggings. Other fabrics may affect the fit and drape.
Use 1 1/2” wide non-roll elastic.
A twin needle (4.0 width) is needed for the topstitching detail. A universal needle can be used for the other seams.
Measure your waist and subtract 1-2 inches, depending on how snug you want the waistband.
Yes, you can modify the pattern to add real front pockets. You may need to draft a pattern or use a pocket pattern from another source.
Hem the jeans to the desired length after sewing, before sewing the waistband.
The download code included with the pattern provides access to the full video tutorial online.
Double-check your measurements against the pattern size chart. Consider using a larger size or adjusting the pattern before cutting. Ensure the elastic waistband is not too tight.
Pin the pockets in place carefully before sewing. Use a straight stitch and go slowly. If needed, baste the pockets in place before final stitching.
Use a serger or zigzag stitch to finish the raw edges of the fabric. Alternatively, use a fray check liquid on the edges.
