"Now, that we have our pants on, you're not quite done prepping them for your crazy leprechaun costume because we need to roll up the pant leg here because we're going to eventually be putting on some stockings. So, to do this, I mean maybe when you were a kid, you went to the beach didn't have your swim trunks on that one time, you end up just rolling up your jeans and jumping in. This is similar. Basically, you're going to take the fabric and keep rolling around basically up your ankle, your calf and your leg. Do this very slowly. Make sure that you're basically the folds are very strong and over. Otherwise, it will come undone. You don't want that. So, definitely keep going up the leg all the way to the top here. Now, you'll notice actually that the underline fabric in this case is white. That's okay. It doesn't really matter if it's green or white. Actually, indeed with the stocking colors you're going to see, it's going to flow very nicely from the green to one of the few areas of our costume that won't be green. Now, you want to keep going up your leg right about to the mid-calf level. That's as far up you want to go. These are not supposed to go up to your knees. These aren't going to be shorts. It's kind of more like I don't know a guy version of Capri if you will. See, yeah go right around about the mid-calf level and then stop. Now, we're going to repeat the roll up process on the other leg."
