The Ixia Leggings - Free Sewing Pattern

By A Mystery Man Writer

Sometimes, you want to get dressed to the 9s. High heels, lipstick, full skirt and a billowing blouse paired with a good blow out. And sometimes it's 15 degrees out and the idea of putting on pants is abhorrent. It's then that I pull out my leggings and thank whatever genius created tights with thicker fabric. The Ixia Leggings are just that. Thicker than tights but comfortable like you're not even wearing pants, the Ixia Leggings are perfect for throwing on under a tunic dress or circle skirt and heading to work, or going to the supermarket in a sweatshirt. Plus, this pattern is super basic, so the fabric combinations are endless. Use pleather or shiny spandex for going out, or a conversational print for a funky statement piece!
