Part 2 continues

Fold the top over the elastic and sew it, making sure to leave enough room between your line of stitching and the elastic, that it can slide fairly easily. I sewed across, then turned around and sewed back again, to be sure it is good and strong.



Then, I slid it off the elastic and trimmed the bottom



Cut a little triangle out of the bottom, so it looks like a nice pretty ribbon edge. You could cut any sort of pattern you want here-this one is pretty standard, but another pattern that is fun, is to cut each part of the flashes, so that as a whole you get this pattern. Or do the opposite and get a spear point. Again, whatever you want-go crazy



Now this stuff is very important-Fray Check, so the bottom does not unravel. This stuff is basically nail polish I think (I remember using nail polish on my nylons in high school when I got a run, but I imagine most of you guys have not had that experience )
