Back Seam Legwear Collection

Inspired by the timeless elegance of vintage back-seam stockings and reimagined for modern wardrobes, the Back Seam Legwear Collection combines classic style with innovative drafting for a truly unique sewing experience.

Unlike traditional tights and leggings patterns, this design features a single seam running down the back of each leg, creating the iconic vintage silhouette while reducing the number of seams for a clean, comfortable finish. Whether you're sewing elegant fashion tights, everyday leggings, athletic wear, or cozy lounge pieces, this collection offers exceptional versatility for every season.

Thoughtfully drafted as a unisex pattern, the included front adjustment instructions make it easy to customize the fit for everyone. That makes this pattern just as suitable for warm thermal layers beneath hunting gear, ski pants, hiking clothing, or motorcycle apparel as it is for creating statement fashion tights inspired by classic hosiery. With multiple garment styles, four rise options—including maternity—and separate pattern files for both 2-way and 4-way stretch fabrics, this is a legwear pattern you'll reach for again and again.
