No Frills Leggings: McCall's M6360

イギリスの冬は寒い。冬が観光シーズンな砂漠地帯に長く住んでいたおかげで、皮膚弱くなったな。
そんな寒い冬の間に、オット用にババシャツを作ったんだけど、そのあまり布で自分用に股引作りました。レギンスとかステキな名前で呼ぶようなものではなく、寒い時にズボンの下に履く用です。
レーヨンのニットで作りました。型紙はマッコールというブランドのM6360番です。
ヨガのポーズをしようかと思ったけど、全然バランス取れませんでした。

My clothes were not equipped to stand against British winter chill. My "winter clothes" in the desert South West mainly consisted of 3/4 sleeve cardi and cami under it. That's more like a summer clothes here in England.

I have 1 pair of long johns, and that pair has been worn continuously throughout the winter, so I needed to add another pair. I bought 2 meters of rayon jersey to make a long sleeve T-shirt for the Man of the House, and I was able to squeeze in a pair of long johns for me.

The pattern is McCall's M6360, leggins pattern.

I made a View E, the mid-calf length. The design calls for a zipper at the hem but I omitted it.

Because the fabric is very drapey and has a lot of stretch, while my body measurements suggested I was size 12 to 14, I cut a size 6. I was aiming for a second skin leggins to wear under jeans so I did not want any ease or looseness.

I shortened 2" around mid-thigh (I am 5'3"), and I also ended up shortening another 2" at the hem. This additional 2" shortening is probably because of the fabric stretch and negative ease than pattern length. (Though the envelope model has pretty long legs...)

It was very easy to make and I am very happy with the result. Also, it was a perfect project to get used t to my new serger.
