Mara (verified owner) –
First time ever sewing a clothing item for myself, and this pattern made it so easy! Definitely crucial to listen to the fabric requirements, as my only disappointment was that my fabric gets saggy because it doesn’t contain quite enough lycra, but that’s totally my fault, and they’re still perfect to wear around the house. I look forward to making lots more of these! Thank you, P4P, for an amazing beginner pattern!

I love leggings. I’m a stay at home Momma of two toddlers so comfort is a must. Years ago I bought some leggings and they were the most comfortable pair I had owned… That said I split the but seem in them about a year ago. With sadness they still sit in my closet because of my love for them. Until recently I hadn’t found any as comfortable.ENTER PEGLEGS !!! Amazing! Most comfy ever!

myrna (verified owner) –
Amazing pattern that helps create leggings that fit like a dream. Good tip for those of you you want a bit of tummy coverage. Increase the the waistband a few inches. I find that these sit right at the hip. Also make sure to read the fabric requirements… Saves you the trouble of making legging that don’t become wobbly knee pants or won’t even pass your knees on the way up! Overall I highly recommend this pattern! Now go on with your bad self and make something awesome ( like these peg legs)!
Chelsea –

Heather Waltz (verified owner) –
I’m a big fan of leggings with a tunic top or short dress. It’s sort of a fashion staple for me. What I didn’t like was pulling my droopy leggings up multiple times during the day. That was until I made my first Peg Legs. This pattern is so wonderful, so easy! I made my first pair in about 45 minutes (including cutting) and they are so comfortable to wear. They don’t sag or ride up. I also made a pair of the “shorts” length peg legs out of swim knit to use as a bathing suit bottom. This pattern is great, buy it!
Nicole Remig (verified owner) –

By far the most amazing pattern I have ever purchased! It is simple to read and so so so simple to sew! I wish all patterns were this easy. I would be able to sew much more because it takes all of 20-30 minutes!
Pamela –
I LOVE this pattern. So easy to follow, and insanely comfortable. I prefer my peg legs to store bought leggings. Only feedback -the pattern allows for a 28″ inseam and I’m nowhere near that. Adding cut lines for various inseams would be great!

Sara Waldmann (verified owner) –
These patterns are amazing! After making my first pair of peg legs, I was hooked. The instructions are so easy to follow and the pattern was simple to assemble. I happened to wear them around my grandmother, a sewing guru, and she was so impressed. She and my mother commented on my bravery for working with knits but I think my success rested solely on the pattern. I was immediately hooked and have since added the henley pack, SOS pants, grandpa cardi, captain Jack comfort jeans, pumpkin spice dolman and summer kimono to my collection. I may never buy clothes again!
Sarah (verified owner) –
I’m a total newb at sewing with knits and I was able to knock out my first pair of Peg Legs last night while at the beck-and-call of a teething nurseling. I’m hooked. PEGALLTHELEGS!!!

Shane (verified owner) –
This pattern was my first Patterns for Pirates purchase. I was nervous about knits and had never made pants for myself either! The pattern was easy to put together (no page trimming yay!), the directions with photos were soooooo much easier to follow than traditional store-bought patterns, and I sewed up my first pair so quickly! I now own several pair. Most of them are workout capris, and I get lots of compliments on them at the gym. Other women in my gym class have asked if I’ll make them a pair! The only problem I found with p4p patterns is that you can never buy just one. 🙂
Melanie (verified owner) –
Sewing is sew much better when you have a fantastic pattern to follow. If this peg leg pattern is anything to go by, I will definitely have to get more P4P patterns. Perfect fit for my measurements and sew easy to follow. The Facebook page is also a great page for inspiration/advice ❤️
Nikkie Reyes (verified owner) –
I own many patterns! Some are easy to.understand, some are too complex for.my understanding. Patterns for Pirates makes patterns so easy to understand, no matter what your skill level is, they work. I can’t even begin to express my liking for Peg Legs. I no longer buy leggings from any stores now. If I even think about it, it feels like I’m going against my religion lol. THIS pattern is a necessity!

I’ve heard it called the “pattern that broke the Internet” but really, it’s the pattern that made the Internet fall in love—I’m in love with my new favorite gym shorts, winter dress layer leggings and stretch denim skinnies to pair with tunic shirts!
Perfect first garment pattern for newer sewists ; just love the margin free pattern printing.
Jabneel (verified owner) –
I absolutely love how quick and easy these are to sew up! They are also ridiculously comfortable and I feel amazing wearing them.
Danielle (verified owner) –
I love the no trim pages. It makes it so much faster to put together and get sewing. I also love the support on the P4P Facebook pattern and sewing groups. And, I love my peglegs, especially for the price.
I rate the pattern at 4 stars because it has a super low rise, even for my 5’1″ build. The only reason my first pair are wearable is because I doubled the height of the waistband. Also, the pattern didn’t specify that the legs should be cut mirror image. It’s more or less common sense, but it’s easy to forget when cutting without a reminder on the pattern.
All said, I have made multiple pairs, I recommend the pattern, and I would buy the pattern again! ❤
Janna (verified owner) –
This is an amazing pattern. It was how I got started buying p4p patterns and I have since bought the grandpa cardigan bundle and the ragland bundle. The patterns are easy to use and great communication with the shop owner.

I’ve been hearing about Peg Legs for months, with everyone saying they were the best thing ever. I thought it must be over-hype – after all, they are just a pattern for leggings. How good can they be? And how much better can they be than all the others? Well, I finally made a pair an OH MY GOSH – the hype is real. I printed and pieced the pattern, cut the fabric, and sewed them up in about an hour the very first time I made them. And the other reviews are correct – they are the most comfortable thing around!!

Love this pattern. Being a roller derby ref, I find I need leggings more often than the usual folks. This gives me so many options to make my own style. Fit is amazing, and perfect for active bodies.

This was my first time printing out a pattern and making something for myself. I would recommend reading through all instructions FIRST and taking into account that the pattern is for a 5’4″ (I think?) woman. It is also helpful to join the FB chatter page to get ideas how you might adjust the pattern to best suit your body. Fabric selection – don’t neglect this!!! Follow the instructions and use 4-way stretch. Seriously the most comfortable leggings you’ll ever own.

By far my fave leggings ever!!
I made some before off a pair I liked and they were “ok” but my peglegs make me feel cute! Haha! And a girl needs as much cute as she can get! 🙂
Nicki –
I have made several pairs (size plus 1X) for yoga and they work wonderfully!! No side seam also makes these leggings perfect for showcasing custom fabric!

I LOVE this pattern! I have never liked leggings until I made my peg legs! They are the most comfortable leggings I own! Quick and easy to sew and I love having different options for the length. 😀

So fast and so perfect! I don’t wear my leggings out of the house, but I LOVE to have them for lounge pants. Even cheap jo Ann knits feel like heaven!
Laureen (verified owner) –
This pattern is awesome. It is VERY easy to use. I feel like it is an easy pattern to adjust to get the perfect fit for your own body. I have replaced all of my store bought leggings with Peglegs. I have 10 pair made and have every intention of making more!

I came here and got the peg legs pattern after seeing them in literally every sewing and fabric group I am on on Facebook. I also joined the patterns for pirates group on Facebook and everyone has nothing but rave reviews. They are so easy to sew up, and fast too!
Jenn Andes –
Can I just say these are my favorite pants ever? I am newish to sewing, and very new to knits but they sewed up so quickly and so comfortably that I love them! The best part? I’m right now on a weight loss journey and knowing that I’ can make pants at any size is making this easier. Between these pants (that i wear sometimes under skirts too) and some of the other patterns…. my wardrobe is covered. love them!!!

Peglegs are so awesome! Easy to sew. Best pattern ever!

Great, easy pattern. Straightforward instructions and fantastic size range. I did raise the waistband an inch due to my personal preference, but otherwise didn’t have to alter the pattern at all.
Elizabeth –
I am a first time knit sewer and this pattern was so straightforward and easy to follow. My only issue was that the pattern had to be printed VERY specifically which made it a little difficult for me since I have to print at a local office store. I can’t wait to purchase more patterns
Samantha (verified owner) –
This pattern is a great introduction to sewing with knits. The fit is great and it is a quick and easy sew. I always seem to be sewing something for my kids because I’ve been afraid to try to fit my figure. I assumed that if it was as hard as it is to find RTW clothes that fit, then sewing for myself would be hard as well. But this was truly easy and I’m excited to explore more patterns in the line to sew for ME!
Tracy w (verified owner) –
THE BEST LEGGINGS EVER! I’ve made so many pairs. It’s very difficult for a full figured, plus sized woman to find comfy, fashionable, cute leggings. Well no more my friends! I can’t rave enough about this pattern.
Doreen (verified owner) –
I’m somewhat of a beginner when it comes to knits but this pattern made it easy. The fit is fantastic as well. 🙂
Jenny Gates Wilkins (verified owner) –
This pattern is the best pattern fit leggings ever! They are perfect, easy to make and quick too! I will never buy another store bought pair ever again. I get there best fit I’ve ever had with this pattern, which has always been a challenge to find for me. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece 😉 I can’t wait to try more patterns created by you!

This pattern was my first foray into Patterns for Pirates and it won’t be my last! This pattern is very well done and is easy to put together. In no time I had added multiple pairs of leggings to my wardrobe.

Shaunna (verified owner) –
I am new to sewing and I’m so very excited for a pattern with clear instructions to make myself something that is an everyday wear. I have printed and cut out my peglegs but I haven’t seen them yet (these babies need to sleep for me to do that). I have, however read through all the instructions and I am feeling very confident that I can do this! Thanks for such a great pattern.
Shaunna (verified owner) –
I’m so excited to make my peglegs. They are all cut out and ready to go. I love the clear instructions and the yoga type waist band. Thanks for a great pattern!
Tana (verified owner) –
Beginner/intermediate sewist over here and this was my first time working with knit anything, first time using a pdf pattern and my first time sewing for myself and couldn’t have been more pleased! Easy to put together pattern, easy to follow directions, fantastic fit and feel for the finished leggings! I’m an addict now. 🙂
Jennifer Callie (verified owner) –
This is the first pattern I ever used. I’ve been sewing for years but patterns always intimidated me. Now I am addicted to the p4p patterns!
Josie (verified owner) –
Still my favorite lazy day pattern! Love!!

Tamara Farrow (verified owner) –
I. Love. This. Pattern! The waistband is so much more comfortable than the thick elastic used in store bought leggings.
Sondra (verified owner) –
Best legging pattern anywhere. Super quick and easy sew! Great for everything from lounging around to athletics….dress them up or down just by changing your top. You could even wear them under pants or dress for some extra warmth in colder weather. You’ll soon have an entire wardrobe of these 🙂
Lydia Moser (verified owner) –
So much better than searching through so many stores for leggings that fit! Now I can make them in any pattern or color I like!
Theresa (verified owner) –

JoAnna Waddoups (verified owner) –
I am a plus sized lady that has always wanted leggings like the smaller sizes but could never find some. I found this while it was a free code and was skeptical it would fit/look right. After following on facebook and seeing others of the same size make and rock these i decided to take the plunge. They fit like a dream! They arnt too tight on the top to give off a muffin type look but not too loose that when i bend over to take care of the kids it slips down and shows my howdey doos. Its flattering on my legs and have made threee pairs now ( i also made one with an attached skirt like the bonny legs on her sisters site) They are super simple, even easier if you have a serger. It took me less than an hour from cutting to wearing. If you want some cute leggings this is the pattern to make
Melissa C (verified owner) –

Love my peg legs! Super quick and easy to sew, so comfy and the fit is perfect! It was my first p4p pattern but not my last.
Whitney (verified owner) –
Before I got this pattern I only made things for my kids. My very first selfish sew was the peglegs…followed by many more peglegs. This pattern is quick and easy, and unbelievably comfortable! I will never buy a pair of leggings from a store again!
Jessica (verified owner) –
I love these!! First time making clothing for myself. Super easy to follow & I can get the perfect fit for me in leggings…in any print I want! Win win.
Now I just nees to adjust the fit for maternity wear.
erica (verified owner) –
These are sooo awesome & so easy to make! Love them!
Jessica (verified owner) –
Super easy!!! My first time EVER sewing not something for myself to wear and I did it on the first try!!! I absolutely love these!!
Heather (verified owner) –
I just made these for my 16 y old daughter. I had her tap the pattern together and it went together quickly and easily. She is a little taller in the inseam so I lengthened them per her measurements and raised the rise to sit just where she wants them. They went together super quick and fit beautifully. I’m sure she will have me make more.
Stephanie Cameron –
Such a fun and easy pattern and i love the tips on the blog about how to lengthen them (it’s made for a 5’5″ human). The only thing that could improve on this pattern would be the addition of the layers feature!
Kristina (verified owner) –
I’m such a beginner when it comes to sewing using a sewing machine AND using knits! These were actually fairly simple (though I did have a slight learning curve feeding my fabric correctly *blush*). They look great on and fit exactly as expected!
Laura (verified owner) –
I’ve tried other patterns for leggings and was not happy. I’ve also worn store bought – NOT HAPPY either! These pegs are perfect. I traced the pattern higher at the rise, just went up two sizes straight from the crotch seam, and they are perfect. Very easy pattern to alter. I am a Granny panty girl, don’t do low rise anything. I’ve only made three pair of these in the last month, there will be plenty more. Pegs are now a wardrobe staple for me. They are so comfortable!
Crystal –
First step was printing out the pattern – patterns these days all seem to be PDF’s, and you print them out at home (or any printing place), stick them together with tape like a puzzle, and cut out the pattern!
There is a layout on one of the instruction pages, so you don’t have to be good at puzzles – just matching numbers. If you can’t match numbers, go back to school and try again.
The Peglegs pattern has a sizing guide, and I fit between two sizes, thus I created a gentle line from one size to the next to make it look natural, hoping I measured right and that they would fit without giving me camel toe or have any unsightly bulges.
The pattern also indicates the most suitable fabrics – and the Facebook Group has a lot of support and help from the pattern maker and those of us who love P4P patterns and have flubbed so future people don’t have to!
It took me less than two hours to cut the fabric and finish my first pair of leggings. They were slightly snug at the waist, I had to redo the waistband twice before I got it right. I ended up switching the waistband fabric to my newly arrived Black Rabbit 95% Cotton/5% Lycra fabric, and it gave the stretch and support the band required.
So, learning from me:
a) Follow the directions. Don’t deviate unless you have experience with the pattern and are good at knowing how things will fit together.
b) Have the right fabric for the right fit and piece you are sewing.
c) Leggings are freaking simple to make! And SO comfortable. I now live in them outside of work. I have been assimilated.

Mine turned out well and fit perfectly. I can make a pair faster than I can do a load of laundry LOL.
Crystal (verified owner) –
Peglegs were my introduction to “sewing my wardrobe.”
I can’t stop making them.
There are hack options in the blog that are fun – making each pair unique.
It is a quick sew, and perfect fit each time!
