I altered my existing pattern by lowering the front and back rise by 4". I then measured the new "waistline" on my body where the waistband would attach. I wanted a 2" waistband so I drafted a rectangle that was 4 and 1/4" wide and my new measurement minus 2" long.
I still had more athletic fabric and I felt like the high waisted leggings while good for wearing while biking looked super nerdy when I was at yoga. I thought a lower rise and a wider waistband would look a little more like "lulu" style leggings. I altered my existing pattern by lowering the front and back rise by 4". I then measured the new "waistline" on my body where the waistband would attach. I wanted a 2" waistband so I drafted a rectangle that was 4 and 1/4" wide and my new measurement minus 2" long. I sewed my leggings the same way until I got to attaching the waistband. I stitched the ends of the waistband together to make a loop and then I folded the waistband in half lenghtwise with right sides out. I attached this to the waist like I would the neckband on a Renfrew t-shirt. After trying them on they sat very low and kept pulling down lower. I solved this by unpicking a bit of the waistband and feeding some elastic through. Not as normal looking as I expected but I still wore them to yoga. The technique was effective but after wearing both styles I find the waistband at the natural waistline a lot more comfortable. I tend to just wear a long top/look like a fool and be OK with it.
