Sew Liberated Limestone Leggings and Top

Buy the Limestone Leggings and Top sewing pattern from Sew Liberated. This fun and functional knit set is perfect for layering, lounging and moving.

With multiple views and leg lengths, the Limestone Leggings are an activewear workhorse for many seasons and activities. The curved pockets provide a playful and practical element, while the curved waistband and carefully placed seams support comfortable movement and offer colour blocking potential. The pattern also features a crotch gusset for increased comfort due to the reduction of bulky seams.

The Limestone Top is a super quick sew. Choose between high-back and scooped-back views; both look great under a Studio Tunic, Penny Pinafore or Otis Overalls in warm weather. Adding the optional wide elastic band transforms it into an easy sports bra.

Suggested fabrics: Medium- to heavy-weight knit fabrics with 50% stretch and a strong recovery (approx. 9-12 oz./250-350 gsm). For a sporty fit, the designer used heavy organic jersey. Other athletic knits like recycled polyester-spandex blends or nylon-spandex blends would work too. For softer loungewear, choose a medium weight knit fabric with rayon or bamboo content in addition to spandex/elastane.
