QuestionHow do I put it on without an opening?Community AnswerThe neck opening should be wide enough for you to climb in feet first. Make sure you can get in feet first before you hem the neckline -- this is probably not necessary, but you may need to open the top of the shoulder straps and make them longer (or add tying straps).

QuestionHow can I make the bottom of the pant legs snug at my ankles? Do I use elastic?Community AnswerYep! Measure around your ankle with the elastic not pulled tight, but firm. Snip with an extra 1 cm for sewing together last. When you are up to the ankle seams, leave a gap inside of ankle to feed elastic through the seam with safety pin. Check by putting your leg through to see that it's OK, pin where you want it to be in length and then sew ends together, then sew so its flat against the length. Sew down your gap.

QuestionHow do I make a long sleeved jumpsuit?Community AnswerThis requires a little more fabric and a few extra steps in part 4. First follow the 'WikiHow to Cut Sleeves' tutorial in order to measure and cut the fabric you need for the sleeves you want. You must make sure the shoulder curve of your sleeves is the same length as the arm openings of the tank top you cut in step 1. If not, make adjustments (modify the tank top openings rather than the sleeves). Leave about 1cm seam allowance on the top's openings. Do not hem the arm openings in step 3. Instead of step 4, follow the first method of the 'WikiHow to Sew Sleeves' tutorial. Then move on to step 5 finish your jumpsuit!
