Recently I made one documentation on Legging Manufacturing. In that documentation, I mentioned the legging manufacturing process briefly. You might find this guide helpful. Keep reading.
I consider that you have already purchased fabrics (stretched knitted fabric, elastic, sewing thread, etc.) and other raw materials. I will explain here step-by-step sewing processes and machine requirements for making leggings.
A list of operations involved in making a Legging is explained below.
1. Cut and join elastic: Elastic will be received in a roll. Cut elastic according to the measurement. Then join two ends of the elastic to make a closed loop. Elastic cutting can be done by a helper.
Use a Zigzag sewing machine to join the elastic. For this operation, you can use a single needle lock stitch machine. But when you use a single needle lock for joining elastic, you will get bulk at the joining, due to the overlapping of two ends. To remove bulk at joining you should prefer using a Zigzag sewing machine.
2. Join front and back rise: Front and back rise are joined by using an overlock machine.
3. Sew inseam: For inseam sewing, an overlock machine is used.
4. Attach elastic to waist: Elastic is attached to the waistband with over lock machine. To control feeding and equal stretch of the elastic throughout the waist circumference special guide is used.
5. Finish the waistband: Turn the elastic inside and finish the waistband using a flat lock machine.
6. Bottom hemming: Bottom hemming is done using a flat lock machine
7. Attach the Main label, size label, and care label:

Lately, I have written an ebook 'The Beginner's Guide to Leggings Manufacturing'. Are you interested in setting up a leggings manufacturing unit? Read this book.

7. Attach the Main label, size label, and care label:
These are optional. You can attach the main label (your brand label), Size label to identify the legging size, and care label for use by the end customer. All these trims add value to the product.
