Burda Style For people who sew

String
Pull the string though the waistband using a safety pin. Knot string ends. Note: to prevent the string from fraying out wrap the string ends in tape (a).

HEMLINE
Turn the hemline allowance inside and pin. Press the edge. Topstitch the seam _” (1 cm) wide along the hemline.

To topstitch the hemline use a TWIN NEEDLE. Stitch onto the right fabric side with 2 needle threads and 1 bobbin thread using a straight stitch adjustment. The bobbin threads stitch zigzag. In that way the fabric won’t stretch when stitching and the seam stays flexible (b).
