6 Pin the pocket onto the middle of the large rectangle. Topstitch the
pocket into place along the sides and bottom (leaving the top open
so the pocket is functional).

7 Sew the 2 waistband pieces together to form a single strip 4” by 88.“

8 Pin the waistband to the top of the large rectangle so that the waist
band is centered and the right sides of the waistband and large
rectangle are facing each other

9 Sew the waistband to the large rectangle with a ½” seam.

10 Press the remaining edges of the waistband ½” to form the edge.

11 Fold the waistband in half widthwise and tuck the edges inward.
Press. Carefully pin in place.

by starting in the middle and working your way out to the edges.
