Preparing the waistband
p. 15- Fold the waistband in half and stitch the short edges using a straight stitch, staying 7mm away from the fabric edge. When finished, press the seams open. First, fold the waistband in half lengthwise with the wrong sides together. Pin it in place, matching the notches and seam line. Then, sew a straight securing stitch 2–3 mm from the raw edges, making sure the edges are even as you go. As you sew, gently stretch the waistband if needed and remove the pins. When finished, carefully press the waistband, being mindful not to stretch or distort it.

Pressing Edges
