"You must not forget the suspenders, Best Beloved!"
---Rudyard Kipling
I love suspenders. I think it comes with being a product of the 80's and the fact that I had several pair growing up.
Anyway, I've wanted to buy some for Simon for awhile now but couldn't find any. It wasn't until this competition that it dawned on me to just make him a pair.
They are super fast and super easy to make. I just wish I would have thought of this sooner.
1-2 twill iron on patches (OPTIONAL)
The little one you are making the suspenders for
Step #1--Measure how long you want the suspenders.
Step#2--Sew the clips on the front two straps.

Step #3--Clip the front straps to your model's pants and drape the rest of the elastic over their shoulders.
Step #4---Decide where you would like your straps to cross. (I like mine just below the shoulder blades.) Pin the elastic straps together in the crossed position.
Step #5---Take the suspenders off you model, keep the back straps crossed and pinned, then sew the back straps together so that they will remain crossed.
Step #7. Just to be sure they will fit I tried the suspenders on my model one more time. I clipped them on in the front and hung them over the back just to check the length before sewing on the final 2 clips on the back straps. (I ended up trimming mine just a little bit.)
Step #8. Sew on the back clips.
And they are good not only for costumes but for church and school. I love it!
Thanks again for letting us play!
