I was immediately drawn to the Cashmerette Belmont Leggings & Yoga Pants pattern. The design of View A with its clean, hidden elastic finish and View B with its classic capri length hem and foldover waistband both seem like versatile wardrobe essentials. The optional flexible gussets in both views make them even more functional and comfortable to wear.
I appreciate that the pattern is available in sizes 12 to 32 and that Cashmerette provides a sizing calculator to help determine the perfect fit. This makes it easier for me to ensure that the final product will be comfortable to wear.
The beginner to advanced beginner level of difficulty is also a big plus for me, as I have some experience in sewing knit fabrics. The recommended Mandalay Performance Knits make it even easier for me to create a stylish and functional pair of leggings or yoga pants.
The notions required for the pattern, such as ballpoint/stretch needle, thread, and 1.5 yards of 1″ wide woven elastic, are also readily available and not too costly, making this pattern a great value.
