Where it is used

p. 20

Align the center back edges. Stitch the back pieces together up to the start of the vent, then continue the seam along the top edge of the vent. Finish stitching, stopping 1 cm before reaching the edge. Make a small snip at the corner of the seam allowance on the right back piece only. Press the seam allowances open, and then press the vent toward the left back piece.
