Sleeping bag suit

Step 3Include a zipper leg

Include a zipper leg
Your suit will be much easier to get on and off if you include a zipper down one leg. Instead of adding your own, use one of the existing bag zippers.

I used my mummy bag's zipper.

This step is accomplished during the pattern cutting of the second bag.

Lay out your second bag on the floor but keep it zipped. Line up the zipper with one of you legs. Safety pin the pants to the bag. spread the bag out flat with your pants on top. Now cut a slit down the back of the bag's mid line.

Spread out the bag flat on the floor, add your top pattern (jacket), and trace. Cut out pattern as for first bag.

Line up the two bags and trim off any excess .

If using a mummy bag, you can use the head part to make a hood.
