Rabbit Pants

Cut pants and tie pieces from the Purl Rabbit Clothes PDF.

Fold the pant legs along the line indicated and press them. With your ruler, mark a line along this crease, from the bottom of the pants to 2 1/4-inches from the waist.

Use the bias tape measure to make two waist ties as you did for the Rabbit Shirt. Set them aside.

Turn, press, and sew a 1/4-inch hem at the waist and the cuffs.

With right sides together,  pin the outer side edges of the pants.  Insert the waist ties at the right and left edges so that the ties overlap each other across the waist band and the ends are captured in the side seams. Sew the side seams.

Next, sew the U shape around the inner leg seam.

Clip the fabric at the top of the U to make the fabric lay nice and flat.

Turn the pants inside out and press.

Don't they look dapper!
