Hand-sew on your buttons onto Piece B at the marks you made in Step 3). Sew on all 10
buttons, and shank them several times by winding the thread around your stitches.
- Place Piece A and Piece B right sides together, and sew side seams together with a 3/8"
seam allowance. We will call this Piece A/B from here.
- Make a double knot in the end of your round cord elastic. Place on top of the side seam
on the wrong side of Piece A/B, approximately 3/8" from cut edge of the Piece. Using a
zigzag stitch on your machine, zigzag over the cord elastic, sewing it all the way around
the cut edge of Piece A/B. (Start sewing just below the knot you made in the elastic, and
backstitch several times to secure.) DO NOT SEW THROUGH THE CORD ELASTIC;
the elastic must remain moveable underneath the zigzagging stitches.
