High-rise leggings with gathered back seam sewing pattern for women — Leggings 16
Leggings 16 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: high-rise leggings with gathered back seam.
The leggings have a high rise and a close fit along the whole leg, with a gathered seam that runs down the center back over the hip, creating a controlled fullness effect. No pockets are visible.
For the compression and the shine typical of this style, it works best in suplex or spandex, with a spandex jersey knit as a lower-cost alternative. The back gathering is achieved with a center seam cut shorter than the side panel.
Recommended fabrics: Suplex, Spandex (lycra) and Jersey with spandex.
