To stop fraying and keep edges clean during and after construction, finish the garment pieces with a balanced 3-thread overlock stitch. Cut a lining. We eliminated all inner pockets. Follow the design guide below to cut the decorative sections from the three coordinating fabrics. These fabrics are positioned directly over the garment sections.
Decorative sections are then firmly pinned and stitched into place with a zig zag stitch.
Prepare UltraSuede loops for the garment front, position with pins and stitch into place. Remove the last layer of protective paper, position the prepared strip over the zigzag stitching, cover with a press cloth and gently press to secure. Topstitch along both edges of the UltraSuede strips. Cut bias for the piping from the remaining fabric and join the strips to make one continuous length. If the cotton cording shows through the knit, cover the cording with plain color bias strips before covering it with the stripe fabric.
