The Avery Leggings (by Helen's Closet) with Liz Simpson (Mondays December 7th, 14th, 6-9pm)

The Avery Leggings are the ultimate leg layer. They are simple to sew while still featuring unique details that make them special. The Avery Leggings have no outer leg seam, so you end up with a nice, smooth leg for layering. Avery has a crotch gusset for improved range of motion that also reduces bulky seams. Each view features a waistband and waistband facing with a fully enclosed and stabilized elastic, ensuring your leggings won’t fall down. Try View A for a classic look, or View B for an ultra-high waist and extra-long legs. The Avery Leggings can be worn anywhere from yoga to the workplace and are a great wardrobe staple.

Recommended Fabrics:
Four-way stretch knits with at least 70% stretch horizontally and vertically. Look for nylon spandex, cotton spandex, bamboo jersey, or rayon jersey. For leggings that aren’t intended to be layered, make sure to find a fabric that is 100% opaque. Look for ‘performance jersey’, ‘technical fabric’, ‘activewear knits’ or ‘dancewear’ when shopping.
