Step 6

Steampunk knickers tutorial for Threadbanger.

 

6. Before attaching the band, lay it flat so it's folded in half. Put a pin in the end opposite the seam, directly across from it. We're going to line the seam up with the inside pant leg seam, and the pin with the outside pant leg seam.

This is important in order to get your gathers/folds to look right!

Once you've done this, turn the band inside out and pull it over the pant leg so that the edges you'll be sewing together are touching right sides together.

You will have a bunch of folds of fabric inside your band- this is good, this is because the band is smaller than the pants.
