Abby's Footed Tights + Leggings

A handmade wardrobe isn't complete without a great pair of tights.

Designed for everyday adventures and special occasions alike, this versatile pattern lets you sew everything from delicate lace tights and cozy sweater-knit winter tights to comfortable everyday leggings. Whether you're sewing for school uniforms, little crawlers, active playground explorers, holiday outfits, or dress-up days, these timeless basics are sure to become wardrobe favorites.

With separate pattern files for both 2-way and 4-way stretch fabrics, optional footed tights or leggings, and the choice of an elastic or yoga waistband, this beginner-friendly pattern offers exceptional versatility while delivering a comfortable, reliable fit.

Designed for knit fabrics with as little as 25% stretch, you'll enjoy far more fabric options than many traditional tights patterns, making it easy to shop your fabric stash or experiment with everything from cotton lycra to stretch lace.
