Turn everything right side out and iron it. Now fold down the top about

an inch and iron, once done sew across the bottom finished edge to

create a pocket to slide your necktie through.

Now take your back main and back lining. Once again lay them right

sides together and pin in place.

You are only going to sew across the top (long) edge. Once done flip

everything right side out and iron.

Now you can do one of two things, if you think the back is going to big

you can fold it over or make a hem, and sew it, that is why it is kind of a

funny shape. If you think it will be a good size as is all you have to do is

line your sewing machine foot up with the top of the back piece and

stitch all the way across. You will now have a little pocket made in

between the lining and main. Cut yourself a small piece of elastic (on

the 6-12 mnth this should be really small), pin a safety pin to it and feed

it through the pocket you just made.

Once you have feed it through secure it on both sides with pins so that

you can then sew it into place.

Now with right sides together pin both back side pieces to the sides of

your front piece:

Now sew up both sides connecting the back piece to the front. Flip

everything right side out

(You can skip this part and come back to it at the end if you prefer, I

just did it now) Grab your ironed neck piece. Sew up all the open

edges.


7/12

Attach a safety pin and feed it through the little pocket you made

earlier.

Set your "top" aside for now. Grab your short piece. Lets work with your

front pieces first. Lay them so that they are right sides together. No sew

down the sloped portion stopping when you come to the center, so

that when you open them up they should look like this:

Repeat this step with your back pieces. Now lay your front piece right

sides together with your back piece, lining up the raw edges on the

sides. Now sew up both straight sides.

Now you should have something that resembles shorts with a lot of raw

edges :) We are now going to gather both of the bottoms of the legs.


9/12

Open them up and stitch a gathering stitch across both leg bottoms.

Now take your leg bands and slide the gathered edge into the little

pocket you made by ironing the raw edges earlier. The leg band may

be longer then you need, this is fine, I made it this way so that cutieswith thunder thighs will just have less gathered knickers. If you do not

need all of it simply trim the excess. Either way pin the bands into place

and then topstitch the leg band removing the pins as you sew.


10/12

Now flip everything inside out and you will need to sew the last center

arch.

Once done flip everything right side out :) Now we are going to attach

the top to the bottom. Find the center of the top by folding it in half.

Now, Slide your knickers up into the top so that the right sides are

facing each other and the wrong side of the top is out. Match up the

center of the top with the center of the front of the knickers. Pin all the

way around.

Now sew all the way around the raw edges. Now here is the kind of but

not really, tricky part. We are going to make a pocket to feed the waist

elastic through by folding DOWN the raw edge we just sewed and

topstitching all the way around. Leaving a little opening that we can

thread the elastic through.

Worry if there are a few wrinkles, once the elastic is feed through you


12/12

will never notice! Once feed through sew the two ends of elastic

together and let is slip back into the pocket. Then sew the opening

shut. You are done!!!
