Sew Your Own Activewear Leggings - Sunday 7th September 2025

Sunday 7th September 2025 at Just Sew, Penrith

Sew Your Own Activewear Leggings

Join us on this day workshop, ran from Just Sew Penrith, and learn to sew your own Activewear Leggings. 

Perfect for lounge wear, dance wear, gym wear or even as base layers, learn how to work with activewear fabric, as well as sewing leggings that have no side seams and a gusset for extra comfort. 

To make sure that you leave with a fabulous pair of fitting leggings, you will be sewing up the "plain" version, but you still have the option of different leg lengths (full, ankle, capri, bike short or booty short) as well as different rise/waistband options too (low rise or high rise and elasticated, narrow or wide waistband) - so plenty to choose from! And with the knowledge you gain from this workshop you can create more variations at home! 

Size range for these leggings is XS - 7XL (waist 24" - 57" and hips 33" - 63")

You do need to have some sewing machine experience for this course, though not necessarily dressmaking!
