Waistband Sections and Joining the Bib Section

Debbie Colgrove, Licensed to About.com
  • Fuse the interfacing to the wrong sides of the waistband pieces.
  • Place the waistband pieces right sides together, aligning all the edges.
  • Fold the length of the waistband pieces in half and mark the fold line in the seam allowance area.
  • Fold the bottom of the bib section in half and mark the fold in the seam allowance area.
  • Insert the bib section between the waistband sections, bringing the raw edge of the bib section to the furthest edge of the waistband sections as shown in the photo.
  • Match the marks on the waistband pieces with the mark on the bib section and align the edges.
  • Sew a seam, using a 1/2" seam allowance, to join the bib and entire waistband edge. (Grade and Under-stitch the seam if desired)
