I absolutely love this simplistic yet very well thought out pattern. It doesn’t matter your body shape. You are covered with this pattern. Each alteration is well explained to make a custom fit. As always, DIBY delivers a fantastic pattern! Oh, try out the shorts version. Great running shorts!

This leggings pattern is perfect! I’ve made several pairs and definitely will be making more. Even though it’s free, it is just as detailed and thorough as all of the DIBY patterns. I had tried several other leggings patterns from other designers and never liked the fit of any of them. The ABB Leggings are the first pair I love. Never will buy store bought leggings again!

I gave the “Anything But Basic” leggings a 5 because it is a great starter pattern that fits well straight off the printer. Sure, there may be a few tweaking necessary for some people. However, this pattern is very easy to adjust because of the side seam. Also, the pattern comes with plenty of fitting help. After using this pattern, you will be able to adjust/fix most,(if not all) of your pants fitting dilemma.

I love these leggings. They fit so much better than other patterns I have tried. They have less negative ease so they are more comfortable. I think next time, I will raise the waistband a little because I like the “tummy tuck” look ha!

I have tried many leggings patterns and I can say that this is the best one. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. What puts this pattern above others is the instructions to get a perfect fit. They help you through each step from measuring and cutting what will fit you! I recommend this for beginners to advanced sewists.

This is one of my favourite patterns for leggings. The fit tips right on the pattern are awesome, the instructions clear and concise. The fit was great. Highly recommend.

So, who needs *another* (free) leggings pattern?? Uh, you do. But only if it’s this one. Sure there are things unique to my own personal shape that I had to adjust on this pattern, but the clear markings of hip, thigh, and calf made this SO MUCH easier than any other pattern I have tried. I have been impressed with DIBY patterns in general and this one was no different. All the charts and measurements provided, plus the step by step directions were super helpful for getting a great pair of leggings that fit perfectly.

Great pattern, easy to read and amazing fit. Really easy to make adjustments because of the side seams.

I have been asked to review this pattern and I would love to. However, I purchased it a few weeks ago when I was just starting into food preservation for the year. I have very little or no time to sew through these few summer months so will not be making these up for a couple months. I do want to say that I like DIBY patterns and am looking forward to my fall sewing, especially this pattern, because I am always cold and am looking forward to having a stylish way to layer clothing. The instructions are very clear and the style of most DIBY garments are a good match for me. I also have the ABB tee pattern and will make that up with the leggings. Looking forward to adding both of these to my closet and will try to remember to update my review after sewing.

I really wanted to love these leggings but the fit was way off for my body. I made them according to my measurements and they ended up being enormous. i had to take about 2 inches off of each hip, several more off the thighs and 3 off each ankle. I will attempt them again now that i know they fit big but in the meantime I’m not super impressed with the pattern.

This pattern is amazing and the instructions include a fitting guide! Love love love the inclusive sizing! My first pair fit perfectly, although I needed to do a generous 2″ full belly adjustment, but this is something I need to do on all pants because I do have a considerable “baby pouch”. I also needed to add a narrow elastic on top of the waistband because they kept sliding down. That wasn’t a problem for me, but maybe instructions should include an optional elastic instructions for newbies. Also note that this pattern has a side seam, so if you aren’t into that look I recommend checking out Patterns For Pirates Peg Leg leggings.
All in all I love this pattern and I can recommend it for everyone from a newbie to seasoned sewist!
