title: "Lumina leggings: Designer Notes"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
I started working on this design when I wanted to make a pair of cycling shorts. I had made a pair in the past,
|
|
using a commercial pattern. And since you can buy the chamois separately, this is a great garment to make.
|
|
|
|
After starting this, I realized that there would be people who would want a more traditional leggings pattern.
|
|
So I decided to make two patterns, one with a seam on the inside of the leg (traditional), and one without a
|
|
seam on the inside (this one). I played with the idea to keep both patterns under one name, but it became
|
|
obvious that it would be better to have two different patterns instead. Since this one was called `lumina`, I
|
|
named the other `lumira`. As it may be, I quickly got distracted by the other version, and that one was
|
|
published first.
|
|
|
|
Since this pattern has a panel on the side, it seemed easy to add a pocket option. So if you want to keep
|
|
your mobile phone on you while working out, this is the pattern to use.
|
|
|
|
I was also in need of a pair of gym climbing pants. So this pattern has the option to have a positive ease
|
|
setting, allowing you to use a non-stretch knit fabric. This makes for loose-fitting workout pants.
