The Limestone Leggings and Top are knit foundation pieces for every season.
With multiple views and leg lengths, the Limestone leggings are an activewear workhorse for many activities. The curved pockets provide a playful and practical element while the contoured waistband and carefully placed seams support comfortable movement and fun color-blocking potential. The pattern also features a crotch gusset for ease of movement and 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. Adding the optional wide elastic band transforms it into an easy sports bra.

Sew Liberated began in a drafty adobe house on a street without a name in rural northern Mexico. The year was 2006, and Meg McElwee was working as a Montessori teacher in a one-room schoolhouse. With no internet, television, or phone line, Meg spent much of her time honing her sewing and pattern drafting skills. Eventually, she started a blog and began selling patterns based on her designs. Sew Liberated was one of the first indie pattern companies to emerge from the crafting renaissance, and hopes to remain a small, friendly, and fashion-forward presence in the indie designer community. Over the years, Sew Liberated has evolved to focus on slow fashion, sustainable practices, and mentoring women to look at their sewing as a practice of self-care. We truly believe that the act of making one’s own clothes is a transformative act both personally and on a global scale, as long it is done through the lens of sustainable fashion.
