What You Will Need
- 2/3 yard of fabric that stretches into the bolt of fabric.
- 1/8 yard for some 2 way stretch fabric. I usually had bias string fabric (raschel) set aside to use for this.
- Lining fabric that matches the stretch characteristics of the main fabric (the same fabric may be used for lining)
- Matching Thread
- Overlock machine or a regular sewing machine with a zig-zag stitch option

- Prepare the Waistbands/Bias Strings (3) Each waistband is 2 ½” wide and stretches along the length.
-
- Fold both waistband pieces (3) in half lengthwise.
- If not cutting waistband (3) from the provided pattern, cut 2 pieces to sizes available on the sewing pattern

- Stay-stitch both unfinished folded sides of waistband (3) to the sides of the triangle pieces (1) & (2) wrong sides facing out, leaving unsewn a little past the triangle end for step 4.

- Use an overlock stitch or any stretch stitch.
- Close Waistbands/Bias Strings
- Fold the unsewn section of each waistband (3) in half, wrong sides facing out.
- With right sides together, serger/overlock stitch the remaining open edges of both waistband sides.
- Turn Waistbands Right Side Out
- Use a string turner or safety pin to flip the waistband so the right side of the fabric is facing out.
- Form Leg Holes
- Align and straight stitch both ends of the waistbands/Bias Strings (3) together on each side to create leg openings.
- Leave ¼” or more seam allowance after the straight stitch for folding in the next step.
- Finish Waistband Ends
- Fold the seam flaps over and sew them down with a straight stitch to hide the raw edges.
- Secure Leg Holes
- Using a stretch stitch, sew all the way around each leg opening to enclose and secure the serger stitch.
- Finish Back Seam
- Overlap the back pieces and sew the center back seam (“butt crack area”).
- Standard length: 3 ½” at the back. Adjust longer for larger sizes or fuller coverage.
