Leggings pattern testers - 48cm-72cm tallFULL Thanks
Wanting several testers with babies in cloth nappies between the heights of 48cm and 72cm to test a leggings/ tights pattern
Suitable for two way stretch fabrics only - such as cotton lycra.
Testers need to be able to
* sew up garment and test sizing with a week of receiving the pattern
* sew a simple pair of one piece pants without instructions (inside leg seams, crotch seam, hem and elastic casing)
* provide clear feedback as to the sizing and fit - would like the garment tried over bulky and slim fit cloth nappies if possible - and an indication of the age, weight and height of the child tried on.
To test the pattern you will need
*an overlocker or sewing machine which will sew a stretch stitch
*be able to open a PDF and print it
thanks!
Edited to add - there is no guarantee these will fit over cloth nappies - I'm working from a new set of measurements which is why I need testers to figure out the accuracy and ease for cloth nappy wearers.

Re: Leggings pattern testers - 48cm-72cm tall
I have leggings on the list to make for my niece who I think will be in that size range.
Happy to try out your pattern as one pair.

DD is 9mo. I'm unsure of her height but it'd be in that range. Plunket tomorrow so can tell you then.

Re: Leggings pattern testers - 48cm-72cm tall
I'd love to test if the thicker PP cotton knit lycra would be suitable, K is 4.5mths old, 66cm (though a lot of her 91st percentile height is in her torso) 6.5kgs.
ETA: reread first post and I'm guessing these are legging leggings as opposed to the bootleg pant type that I initially visualised, I probably have some lighter cotton lycra that would be more suitable

Re: Leggings pattern testers - 48cm-72cm tall
Yes they are leggings/ tights not bootlegs, will be fiddling with the styles once the fit over nappies is sorted
