Seriously, thank you for pointing out which needles, types of fabric and why you are using them! There are sooooooo many videos that don't say these sorts of important tidbits and it makes being a beginners life hard!
No, Seriously thank you for making a video that ANYONE can understand. After watching tons of others that are a pain to watch, you are a breath of fresh air!
I have been sewing for years and this is the first tutorial I’ve found that makes sewing leggings without a store purchased pattern easy as pie. I’m in love! 😍 I’m extra tall and I’m thick so clothes pants cost me a fortune. Now I can make my own in colors I like. Thank you so much, girly. I’m now a fan and I’ve subscribed.
I found you last evening and all I can say is you are totally awesome! I am 71, haven't sewed for 32 years and am starting anew. However, I learned more from you last night and this morning than I knew for my first 20 years of sewing. I never had instructions so just "faked" it but still made some pretty gorgeous things. Now I have the confidence, after watching just a couple of your tutorials, to really start creating the beautiful things I've been dreaming of, both for the new baby (first of her generation) born four weeks early on Cinco de Mayo (even though we aren't Hispanic I love Cinco de Mayo -- it's way cool) and her cohorts as they come along. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping an old lady find joy and purpose in her life!
Its lovely to see a person learning to sew at 71.I am 60 I thought it was waste of time then I saw you and new I was not wasting my time. thanks you helped me too.
Wow, Vanessa, I have never been moved to write a comment on RUclips before. Your video was terrific on so many levels. Every thing was covered perfectly and really well thought out! From your most excellent explanation of how and why of materials needed and the step by step process of laying out, cutting, pining and sewing!! AND you didn't make us watch you put in every pin in slow-mo! It might be nice to show how to put in a one pin for those who really don't know, but most of us who choose to watch a video like yours know would know that. You gave all the information to really go out and DO! And I will! You exude energy, enthusiasm and excitement with out being Manic! Brava! Kudus and Wild Blessings! Can't wait to go view your other sites and projects.
+TheCraftyGemini I agree with +mrmccaa i am studying fashion design and your videos are helping a lot. so much more detailed and explanatory. Thank you for sharing
Thank you!! Great tutorial. I made leggings for my daughter as my very first sewing project and thanks to you they came out great! I'm never buying leggings again!
You are a great girl you know, I loved to listen to your clear explanations, very easy for beginners. I am a professional but I like to watch this kind of tutorials haha, funny to see how we work differently. Greetings from the Netherlands
Vanessa, Im 62, I am a sewer of clothes, & patchwork; but after 8 years watching you, you explain STILL so well. You are organised and make it look simple. I'm doing these now, as I shy away from stretch fabrics..thanks very much! Marietta Australia
Ditto about the all the details that are so essential! I was about to give up on my machine thinking that I could never sew any knitted fabric because my machine would right away eat the fabric. Now I know I have to use the right needles and my walking foot. I'm going to give it another try. Thanks for your helpful tutorials!
I think yours may be the first tutorial I've encountered here mentions the presser foot, needle, fabric content, stitch, etc.--all the (very necessary) little details everyone else seems to take for granted. I've wistfully watched many a DIY video without ever taking on a project of my own simply because without that info I have no idea where to start. Thank you.
I always make a belt out off the elastic that feels comfortable and then sew it in while stretching it. It helps make sure it fits properly. Then I match up where I'm starting, the half way point on the other side, and I just stretch and stitch across. I guess it's a personal preference.
Mind Blown!!! I am not paying for a pattern or class to teach me how to make leggings after this because you have shown me just how easy it is. I have worn a hole in my favorite leggings in the thigh area and was becoming frustrated because I wasn't sure if the patterns available would fit my bodacious backside and long legs without being too short. I like mine to bunch just a bit over my ankles. They are made of the best quality fabric, but they are the best fitting and the most comfortable pair I own. Now I can remake them in a nicer stretch fabric. Thank you SO much for showing us just how easy it is to draft and create your own pattern!!!
I really appreciate how you explain in sewing. I get so intimidated when I read the instructions of a pattern. Sometimes, I feel that the wording for patterns does not use language that I understand. Where as you use every day language and I feel confident. Thank You .
Thanks Gemini, i made these last year with with you, i just needed a refresher course, started to make my 🤶🎅presents I love working with you, life is so much better, when you make patterns There's no stress. Love you keep doing what you do. 👍👍👍👍👍🤶🎅
VANESSA YOU DID A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING EACH STEP!!.THANK YOU!! BY WATCHING YOUR TUTORIAL I CAN DO THIS , INSTEAD BUYING ..I'M ABOUT TO ORDER SOME ELSATIC. i ALSO WANT TO MAKE A MATCHING TOP!!! I HAVE A LOT OF CHEAP FABRIC I CAN USE!! I'M SO GLAD I RAN ACROSS YOUR VIDEO!!
I just now watched this 2013 video and am so impressed! I haven't been inspired to wear or make leggings until now. And thank goodness you're not a size 2 - - it would be discouraging for 99% of us and we wouldn't be inspired to make our own leggings. Thank you for your wonderful teaching ability and honesty.
Excellent video! I have to admit, my friend gave me a roll of that craft paper- I use it for EVERYTHING from sewing patterns to paintings- handy stuff! I've been using it for pajamas recently, you can mark a couple different sizes on it and sort of cut and pin- and then you get everybody's jammies handled S - L. Similar to what we're doing here. Again thank you for your video. :)
Started watching you with your organic gardening videos. I thought they were the best and I did not know that you were the crafty Gemini so I look at it too. Thank you for all your knowledge and insight into both worlds!
Been listening to and looking at sewing videos for the past 6 months, and this is, by FAR, the BEST! Never commented on a video before, but do not change a thing! I've subscribed and will be sharing. TY
OMGEE thank you so much! Boy do you make it look so easy to work with knits. There are so many things I want to make but I’ve been skittish because my machine “eats” the fabric. Now I finally know what the problem has been for decades! You are amazing! God bless, I will be following you and watching all of your videos- some of them I’m going to watch over and over to make sure I get it right.
I'm only 11 years old and I made my own pants using this tutorial and it was super easy! I highly recommend this tutorial to any beginner out there!♥ Tip- if you don't have the pattern making paper, you can use gift wrapping paper (not tissue paper)
Omg Vanessa I would love to see more of these tutorials on using your own clothes to make new clothes...this tutorials was easy to understand and I can't wait to duplicate it... please keep them coming...
Sis u were born to teach! I’ve been sewing for a while now but u taught me at LEAST 5 mistakes I’m making!!!! great vid and thank u so much #newsubbie!!!!
I haven't even finished the video yet but I already love it! I've been searching for videos like this as I'm new to sewing, and I love how you included the type of needle needed and how thorough you were with your explanations. Will be following!
Vanessa you are a delight to watch, and a wonderful teacher. I enjoy all your videos immensely. Could you possibly do tutorial for us, on circular shorts. I’ve seen a few but don’t understand any of the lovely Ladies as they don’t speak English. My little young Ladies said ask Vanessa, she’ll know how to do it. Hope you don’t think I’m imposing on you. Thank you dear Lady. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You make the best sewing tutorials! I’ve sewn a few other projects from your videos and they turned out perfectly. I once sewed pajama bottoms from a Simplicity pattern and sewed two right pants legs! I won’t make that mistake using your video. Thank you!
Love these! I personally don’t wear them but my granddaughter is going to have a rainbow of colors! Just an FYI, I understand your line marked ‘stretch’ however, instead there should be a line running from the top to the bottom (about 12”-18”). Each end of the line is then measured to the fold and adjusted so they are both the same distance. This ensures your pattern is on the ‘strait of grain’. And the width of the garment will still be going with the ‘stretch’ of the fabric. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas!
Yes thank you for teaching us about the needles needed to sew with the material...I just purchase my first spandex material and I am excited to try and make my own leggin's...I need certain colors for the tie wrap shirts I make...Thank you ...
Thank you so so much for such an informative, yet simple tutorial! I’ve read sewing books, seen other videos, looked up online step by steps on how to make leggings but they always confused me. This is so thorough yet easy for me to understand!!
I have 2 hours to make a pair of lime green leggings for my high school son for a costume....this video gives me the confidence to do it quickly...you rock!
I have always experienced anxiety when it comes to sewing. It is really silly. I have sky-dived, scuba dived in the Atlantic ocean, I mountain bike etc... but sewing, YIKES! I have been wanting to venture into sewing and make my own leggings because they cost too much for cheap products when buying. I feel your video is so helpful and will lessen my anxiety about trying to sew my own leggings. Thank you!
I love how clear your instructions are, how well you enunciate, and how genuinely pleasant you are! You exude confidence and I seriously just felt all around more joyful from watching you in this video. Thanks for the tutorial!
I was so exited watching you sew on the machine. I would like to learn how to sew, I have a sewing machine for about 3yrs and still can sew .my gold for the new year us to teach my self how to sew but I'll continue to look at your tutorial until I learn good job Maggie from Elizabeth nj
Great video. I am so excited to get a clear and easy project. Better yet I am going to make a few pair for Christmas gifts. I will just need to adjust slightly from my pattern to allow it to fit someone who is a tad bit larger than I am. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial. It is by far the best one I have seen yet on how to make your own leggings without a store bought pattern. It also helps when trying to increase the size of store bought leggings that were too small. This totally frees you up to be able to buy smaller sizes and craft them to fit. Two thumbs up from this momma.
Thanks Vanessa. I've learned to make pj from your video and every time I need a review ( don't make a lot of pants) I just have to refer back to this video. Love it. Lots of clear info for a novice like me. Blessings.
I’ve watched a lot of videos about sewing for cosplays and this video is by far the best one ive found! Super informative and great explanations I was always confused about which fabrics to use and what difference it’d make so I really appreciate your videos!
I love all your videos. Your instructions are always so clear and informational. I have really learned so much about sewing and have been inspired by your videos. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us.
oh my thank you from the bottom of my heart for this, really will help me as i have lost a ton of weight and now need new clothes that fit now i feel more comfy making my own
Dear Wanessa, I use walking foot with double needle to sew the bar and put the rubber band. It is very good too. It is excellent for stretch fabrics. Sorry about my english. I love your job. Kss
Thank you SOOOO much for this video. I wear these all the time and love to work out at home in these. They can get expensive at the store so now I can make my own. :)
Thank you so much for your clearly instructed video. I am still new to sewing with knits and have loads of questions. You answered one of my questions early on which was how to know placement of a pattern piece to get the stretch properly. Thank you so much!
I love your tutorials. Very clear and it helped me not to be so afraid of stretch fabric. I'm going to use this tutorial to try my first pair of leggings.
HI Vanessa! Ive seen all your videos, at least once! I'm in my late 50s and Im a size 8 (quite small).....I love patchwork..but needed this video as we will be doing a lot of caravaning and I'll need wash and wear clothes. I saw this one again! and ADORE it! You are just Terrific! Hugs from Brisbane!
I wanted to make a leggings from a long time, and you made that wish come true! And your tutorials are very clear and easy to understand.I pray to God that you'll get more strength to do more videos like this. Thanks so much.
Thank You! I just bought a sewing machine, and thought I would need to get a serger to make knits. Knowing I just need a walking foot and ball point needles is wonderful. A lot cheaper than getting a serger. I will be making leggings soon! Have subscribed!
you really take the time to explain what you are doing!! I love ur videos. I understand a little bit more about sewing and a lot more excited to learn more. Thanks doll!
THANK YOU A GAZILLION TIMES FOR THIS SIMPLE,,,,,very simple.....PATTERN, I have been looking for this for a very long time. You are the best...thanks so much.
Thank you soo much for this tutorial! As a beginner of sewing this video saved me soo much, dropped it my stress level down real quick! Thanks again for such an amazing tutorial!
Thank you! I have searched for a legging tutorial that I could understand. I wanted to use my serger - but I will use my sewing machine following these instructions. You are clear and concise in your instructions and you give them with a smile. I appreciate it. You have a new follower.
Brown paper= big box hardwarde store in the painting dept. Fabrics: I get them at a lot of different places- yard sales, estate sales, joann's fabrics, fabricmartfabrics, lowpricefabric, etc
Hi Skinny Lady! I'm liking that gray jacket deal you have on, of course you made it....what pattern, it's very nice! Been following you for years, you're doing a great job, and getting people into the idea of sewing! It's making a resurgence!
Seriously, thank you for pointing out which needles, types of fabric and why you are using them! There are sooooooo many videos that don't say these sorts of important tidbits and it makes being a beginners life hard!
Savanna Kraft
I Was wondering the same
Savanna Kraft I agree! She has been very thorough and detailed! I’m 50 and she’s teaching me things I didn’t know ♥️
No, Seriously thank you for making a video that ANYONE can understand. After watching tons of others that are a pain to watch, you are a breath of fresh air!
I have been sewing for over 50 years but I have been enjoying your tutorials.

I'm only 11 years old and I made my own pants using this tutorial and it was super easy! I highly recommend this tutorial to any beginner out there!♥
Tip- if you don't have the pattern making paper, you can use gift wrapping paper (not tissue paper)
Went to Walmart yesterday and tried a pair on. Why havent I dont this sooner. Love them...so soft and comfy
Omg Vanessa I would love to see more of these tutorials on using your own clothes to make new clothes...this tutorials was easy to understand and I can't wait to duplicate it... please keep them coming...
Thank you Vanessa!!! I just finished making my first pair of leggins and I am amazed!!! More clothing here I come!!!
Yay! Glad to hear it! Keep up the great work! :)
Sis u were born to teach! I’ve been sewing for a while now but u taught me at LEAST 5 mistakes I’m making!!!! great vid and thank u so much #newsubbie!!!!
Great video! I just made stretch knit maternity pants with a fold over skirt. Its the first time I've made pants that didn't come out wonky! Thanks!
Hi, I have been sewing nearly all my life (over 55 years) and I just want you to know I picked up some very useful tecniques. Thanks
I have watch many sewing tutorials and they all waste fabric which I think it's expensive.
but I love it how you like saving fabrics.
I haven't even finished the video yet but I already love it! I've been searching for videos like this as I'm new to sewing, and I love how you included the type of needle needed and how thorough you were with your explanations. Will be following!
Vanessa you are a delight to watch, and a wonderful teacher. I enjoy all your videos immensely. Could you possibly do tutorial for us, on circular shorts. I’ve seen a few but don’t understand any of the lovely Ladies as they don’t speak English. My little young Ladies said ask Vanessa, she’ll know how to do it. Hope you don’t think I’m imposing on you. Thank you dear Lady. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You make the best sewing tutorials! I’ve sewn a few other projects from your videos and they turned out perfectly. I once sewed pajama bottoms from a Simplicity pattern and sewed two right pants legs! I won’t make that mistake using your video. Thank you!
Love these! I personally don’t wear them but my granddaughter is going to have a rainbow of colors! Just an FYI, I understand your line marked ‘stretch’ however, instead there should be a line running from the top to the bottom (about 12”-18”). Each end of the line is then measured to the fold and adjusted so they are both the same distance. This ensures your pattern is on the ‘strait of grain’. And the width of the garment will still be going with the ‘stretch’ of the fabric. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas!
Thanks bunches!! Drafted and crafted some leggings for my daughter in just under 40 minutes! You rock!
Yes thank you for teaching us about the needles needed to sew with the material...I just purchase my first spandex material and I am excited to try and make my own leggin's...I need certain colors for the tie wrap shirts I make...Thank you ...

You are the best teacher ever,,,and so easy,,,,,,,,thanks so much
I have always experienced anxiety when it comes to sewing. It is really silly. I have sky-dived, scuba dived in the Atlantic ocean, I mountain bike etc... but sewing, YIKES! I have been wanting to venture into sewing and make my own leggings because they cost too much for cheap products when buying. I feel your video is so helpful and will lessen my anxiety about trying to sew my own leggings. Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial. I bought red stretch corduroy for leggings. I got so many good tips from you. Thank you.
Great video. I am so excited to get a clear and easy project. Better yet I am going to make a few pair for Christmas gifts. I will just need to adjust slightly from my pattern to allow it to fit someone who is a tad bit larger than I am. Thank you!
You're very easy to follow along with, thanks for being patient with your explanation

Hi Skinny Lady!
I'm liking that gray jacket deal you have on, of course you made it....what pattern, it's very nice! Been following you for years, you're doing a great job, and getting people into the idea of sewing! It's making a resurgence!
