Learn to draft & sew your own custom fit leggings

Let's draft some custom fit leggings! If you've ever struggled to find the perfect pair, stick around because today, we're drafting and sewing our own.

My husband and I do yoga together every morning plus some nice long walks together so I'm slowly building up a fully handmade activewear wardrobe. So new leggings and tanks were on my sewing project list this month.

I designed this tutorial a few years back and wanted to refine my pattern block and guide to share here on the blog and on YT. Perfect timing- I'm releasing this tutorial on the International Day of Yoga!
