Step 8 Leg bands (Optional)

_mg_8853_large

Optional leg band:

Measure the legs’ opening’s perimeter, and cut 2 straps in this length, plus seam allowance. Width: I cut mine 1 cm narrower than the body’s binding. Again, you may want to cut them just a bit shorter, to make them sit snuggly at the legs – but not too snuggly, or your legs will look like stuffed sausages. I pulled just a tiny bit on the band while attaching it to my leg opening.
Sew the bands closed on the short side.

Attach to the legs same as you did for the body’s binding. Serge/finish bands’ and leg’ raw edges together.
