If you haven't sewn the sides together yet, safety pin the elastic to each side of the fabric, when you sew up the seam, the elastic will catch in the seam. I hope that makes sense.Tara @ Tales of a Trophy Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482352114947524130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041302828086004590.post-45961053200794661842012-07-07T21:05:07.694-05:002012-07-07T21:05:07.694-05:00I do, I guess I forgot that part.

Sometimes, when I sew for my daughter, I just leave the safety-pin and then let the elastic out as she grows.Tara @ Tales of a Trophy Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482352114947524130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041302828086004590.post-274603080336188142012-07-07T20:51:56.346-05:002012-07-07T20:51:56.346-05:00So after you guide the elastic thru you don't ...So after you guide the elastic thru you don't sew the elastic together first? You just sew the edges together along with the elastic?
