So you followed our tutorial on sewing our Sandpiper Pants and now you are thinking, “How do I put them on my kiddo?” Here’s a little step-by-step that will have your little one donning and doffing1 these pants with ease.
Step 1: Position the front of the pants (where the buttons are located) at the navel level of your child. Tie the twill tapes in a bow around the back.
Step 2: Pull the back of pants (where the button holes are located) through the child’s legs to the back. Straighten the waistband and position center back seam at the center of the child’s back.
Step 3: Pull the tabs with the button holes around towards the child’s front along the waist, fastening them to the buttons on the front.
Step 4: Once the pants are secure at the waist, you can loosely tie the cuffs around the child’s leg.
Step 5: Your child is now ready to romp down the beach!
