🪡 Assembly
-
Crotch Dart
Serger stitch the dart on front piece (1). Secure the serger chain by tying a knot, stitching it down, or applying fray check. This dart can be adjusted slightly for personal fit. -
Side Seams
With right sides together, sew the side seams of front (1) and back (2). Use a serger or straight stitch on a home machine. Leave shoulder straps and crotch ends open. -
Apply Elastic
Attach ¼” elastic to all raw edges of pieces (1) and (2), excluding the small ends of the crotch and shoulder straps. Use a serger or zigzag stitch. An elastic foot is recommended for even tension. -
Crotch Seam
Sew front and back crotch ends together using a straight stitch with a ¼” seam allowance. Reinforce by sewing forward and backward where elastic overlaps. -
Shoulder Straps
Sew front and back shoulder straps together using a straight stitch with a ¼” seam allowance. Reinforce elastic overlap points. -
Finish Edges
Fold elastic and fabric neatly to the inside and secure using a coverstitch, zigzag stitch, or stretch stitch. Open elastic seams at shoulders and crotch before hemming to reduce bulk.
