ok so, here’s a lil tutorial for big booty babes who have a pair of leggings that won’t make it over yr lumps
1. take out the elastic from the first pair of leggings. a seam ripper would be totally useful. i didn’t show this part, because all leggings will be different, but basically you just need to figure out how the material is sewn AROUND the elastic, and remove this elastic… this will also, most likely, expose some extra material which will be useful!
2. cut the waistband off of something that is around the same circumference. i used a skirt that i don’t really wear that much, but use whatever you want! the size of the waistband only matters in that it needs to extend the length of your leggings enough to fit over yr butt. the circumference matters because if it’s a really different size, the leggings will bunch around it when you sew them together but, it’s not a huge deal really. you can also use a wide elastic cut to the same size as the leggings, or you could buy some similar patterned/coloured stretchy material if that’s more your jam. 
3. (the last 3 images show this and the next step) place the RIGHT SIDES of the leggings and the waistband together. the right side is the side that you want to be showing. you want to line up the bottom (cut) edge of your waist band to the top edge of your leggings. use pins to keep them in place.
4. use a sewing machine to sew along these edges. using a serger would be a nice touch, but totally not necessary. you could also sew by hand if you’re into that.
5. give a big FUCK YOU to fatphobia and stores not being willing to stock larger sizes by wearing this out and proud! 

PS: even though this tutorial is sorta obvious and straightforward, and maybe doesn’t even need to be written up, i’m just doing this so that fat folks who have some clothes that don’t fit properly feel empowered to turn these ill-fitting clothes into something they can actually wear and feel good in <3 

heyyyy! i (jackie) made this little tutorial thingy about lengthening leggings for big bootied people (and also for tall people!) and almost forgot to post it here! please don’t make fun of my sewing “skills”. i’m not very good at doing anything straight (har har)!
