MAGAM Sept project result - another pair of Jeggings

I actually finished my MAGAM Sept jeggings (McCall's 5273) a while ago. I had even worn them and laundered them. For some reason the fabric wasn't very colour fast. So now there are discoloured streaks on the pant legs. Oh well! I'm still wearing it. I added back pockets with my own design details, a faux front fly and topstitched the inseam for strength. It came together very quickly since this is probably the 10th time I had sewn with this pattern. I plan to wear them all Fall/Winter long with cardigans, sweaters, and sweater dresses. They tuck nicely into my knee high boots. A very useful piece of clothing indeed!


I think I'll be using this pattern again for more skinny pants/leggings for the coming Fall/Winter season. Stay tuned!

  1. They certainly are jeggings - they look great. Pity about the streaks, but in denim they will just look loved and well worn. With sweater dresses you won't really notice.

    1. Thanks Sarah LIz! It's just a very practical piece of clothing for me in the Autumn and Winter seasons. I figure no one will really look closely enough at the streaks when the pant legs are in the boots!

    1. Thanks Stars Thread! That's one of the reasons I like these basic pants patterns. One can add their own design details easily.
