Today we started making the pants. I did not have a pattern to go by, so I used a pair of Kara's pants as a general guide and then cut a few inches on each side. This worked, but not perfectly. The legs were a little on the tight side, and I made the waist way too big.
I started by stittching the center seam on the front band back pieces. Once I did that, I placed the fur sides together then stitched up the inseams and outer seams.
I then had Kara try them one. The legs looked pretty good but..
the waist is HUGE!! I am in the process of making a casing so I can sew in a piece of elastic.
I had her try on both pieces together, and we are about halfway there.. I still need to add the white fur bellly,make a tail, and attach some ears to a headband. . I need to add the elastic to the waist and trim the bottom of the legs.
I was hoping to have it done by Saturday afternoon (Oct 22) so she could wear it to the neighboring towns festival. I am not sure if that will happen but it looks like I will be done by Halloween..
