    Excellent and fun pattern to sew up!
    Great for beginners. Instructions are very clear and helpful.

  2. megan.patrick (verified owner) –

    I have made every version of these for my daughter several times. They are so easy and look so nice when they’re done. She loves the boy shorts for cheer practice and the leggings and skirt for school. Crazy easy to understand directions.

  3. Katie –

    Great pattern with so many options. Quick and easy sew with clear instructions. A great staple!

  4. Martha –

    Thanks for the free pattern. They fit my daughter perfectly and were so easy to sew up.

  5. ericaraycallister (verified owner) –

    My most used pattern! I love it! My daughter is so skinny and tall, RTW leggings haven’t fit her in years. She chooses to wear the leggings most days because they actually fit perfect!

  6. Melissa D (verified owner) –

    I cannot count how many pairs of bonny leggings I have made for my daughters! They are so comfortable and come together so quickly! I love the update that was done! I have honestly made my girls bonny leggings instead of doing laundry! Definitely recommend this pattern.

    I have made LOTS of these, they are easy to make and look fab. My daughter says they are super comfortable.

  14. laplant.angela (verified owner) –

    I love this pattern and the versatility of it! Need shorts for under a dress? You got it! Want a skirt with shorts attached? Check! Want leggings? Yep! Well written and easy to follow instructions made it a breeze to sew up a skirt with attached shorts for my oldest daughter for picture day.

  23. Amber Yamada –

    The Bonny leggings pattern is the only pattern I now use for my girls! They wear leggings just about every day under their dresses – the full length is perfect for fall/winter, and the shorties length is perfect for the warmer summer months! Seriously a staple piece for any little girls’ wardrobe. Get the pattern. You will not be disappointed and will want to sew up a million pairs – and you certainly can in no time! Beginner friendly pattern as well.

    We love this pattern. My child will only wear “stretchy pants” as she calls it now. So having a pattern that fits right is important. We love it so much !!

  34. emhank (verified owner) –

    This is my go to pattern for sewing leggings for my granddaughters, I’ve sewn dozens of these.

  35. Ashley (verified owner) –

    One of the easiest patterns to follow from print to completion! Not only is it quick, cute, and easy, but there are lots of ways to modify this pattern with shortie, Capri, and ruffle options!
