In this session, I taught how to finish the facings by covering the raw edges with bias binding.

I also prepared the side seams for attaching the pockets in the next step.

I covered the bottom edges of the front and back facings with thin bias binding. This involved carefully sewing the bias strips around the curves and corners. After attaching the bias, I pressed the facings and prepared the side seams by stitching them down for a few inches, leaving room to insert the pockets.

Lesson Steps:

• Attached bias binding to the bottom edge of the front facing
• Pressed and folded the bias binding neatly
• Sewed the bias binding in place along the front facing
• Repeated the process for the back facing
• Pressed the finished facings
• Stitched the side seams down for 2-3 inches below the armholes
• Prepared to attach the pockets in the next step
