+ Fabric scissors
+ 15cm elastic
+ Fabric
+ Tailors chalk (or pencil)

4 Thread the elastic through using a safety pin, then tie the ends of the elastic into a knot.
5 Edgestitch up the gap, then continue the edgestitching all the way around, rolling the seam between your fingers so it sits flat.

FIN 🤍
