Lumira leggings: Sewing Instructions

NOTE

This is a garment made from a stretch fabric. So use appropriate seam solutions. A serger is a good way to do this, as are specific stitches that certain sewing machine provide. A zigzag stitch will do if that’s all you have.

Keep in mind that since these seams are always under tension, it may be a good idea to double them up, or provide a zigzag in addition to serging the seam.

Schritt 1: Die Fronttaschen

  • Sew the two pieces to eachother, right sides together, along the top seam.
  • Nähen Sie das Knopfloch.
  • Nähe die Rückenteile rechts auf rechts entlang der Rückennaht zusammen. This creates a loop.
NOTE

If you want to include elastic into the waistband, now is a good time to do so. You should add it to the seam you just sewed.

Schritt 2: Die Fliege

  • Nähen Sie eines der Beinbänder rechts auf rechts an jedes Bein, wobei die Kerben übereinstimmen. This will result in two ‘pipes’ of your fabric.

Schritt 3: Befestigen der Vorderseite an der Rückseite

  • Sew the two pieces together along the back seam. This seam is marked with ’+‘.

Schritt 4: Beinbänder

  • If you have a front bulge in your gusset, sew the middle ‘dart’ closed first.
  • If you do not have a front bulge, it is useful to sew the front seam closed. This seam is marked with ’-‘.

Schritt 5: Bund

NOTE

If you do not have the large back gusset option, you just need to sew the little diamond shaped gusset in the right spot.

  • Match all the notches of the gusset with the legs and seams. Be careful, since you’ll be sewing a circle to an outline, and that is always tricky to get right. Use a lot of pins, or clips, to keep the fabrics aligned.
  • Sew the seam from one side all the way to the other.

Schritt 6: Buttons

  • Align the waistband seam with the seam in the back.
  • Nähen Sie eines der Beinbänder rechts auf rechts an jedes Bein, wobei die Kerben übereinstimmen. Achte darauf, dass unter den Einkerbungen an der Unterseite der Seitennähte eine Lücke bleibt. This seam will combine three layers, both layers of the waistband, and one layer of the leg pieces.

Schritt 7: Viel Spaß mit deinem neuen Shirt!

Now you can add the elastic to the leg openings. Otherwise finish those in any way you like.

Sie sind fertig! Enjoy your Lumina leggings!
