The polka dots take it to another level...quite possibly DOWN a level....but they're hilarious.
Okay, this is more appropriate, uh, except for the muffin top created by the pants being a size too small. Guess I'll size the next ones up.
Or wear a looser shirt. Love that they match my shoes.
Here's the waistband - I love how this is all sewn together with a very comfortable waistband, but the blue contrast is making me look really odd-shaped, like my knees are bowing towards each other...weird.
My phone actually fits in this pocket!
Okay, seriously, this is nylon lycra swimsuit material, so I'll burn up if I run in it, but I do plan to make it in some Dri-fit fabric, hopefully, if I can find that online. And I'll make it larger, promise! Now to find some ribbons and a gymnastics team to join....(or a corner to hang out on....)

Those fancy cool and like the colorblock/print. Nothing like having colorblock and prints to get you up and on the run...lol
Wow! More to say later..,.
Thass right! And to give passers-by a laugh as well.....
In private? Uh oh.....
Those are so fun. Love the polka dot. I've never made any leggings myself. Would be nice to have leggings that are long enough. Ones I buy never are. That is the wonderful thing about sewing.
Thanks, Becky! Definitely plan some more in appropriate fabric -
Great pattern!
I've been desperate to read a review of these - thank you! Do you feel as though your phone will stay in the pocket as you run? I've been looking for a pattern similar to this for ages, but I worry my phone will just bounce out.
Yes - the phone stays put! I've run with it in other RTW pockets and haven't felt secure, but this pocket has elastic around the opening to keep it tight. And when you attach the waistband, you can also make the pocket opening a little smaller by including more of the pocket edge in the seam - probably won't make sense till you make it, which you definitely should - I love this pattern! Thanks for coming by!
Thanks so much for replying! I'm definitely going to make these then, I have the fabric all ready, just need to do the dreaded pre-wash!
