WAIST BAND
Stitch the interfaced waist band on the bottom jacket edge (seam 15), right sides and centers are facing. Press allowances inside the waist band. The end of the waist band extends over the right front jacket edge and will be trimmed later (a).

Position the waist band pieces together; pin the bottom edges together. Stitch the front center of the right waist band end; stitch the front edge of the left waist band end. Trim allowances and cut the corners at an angle. Turn the waist band, press the edges. Fold the inner waist band edge over the seam line, pin. From the right side of the fabric, topstitch the waist band narrowly, thereby catching the inner half of the waist band (b).

Work the top of the SNAP BUTTON, as marked, into the right waist band edge. Close the zipper and mark the spot for the bottom snap button onto the left front piece. Work the bottom piece in the marked spot.
Stitch the TAP (piece 17). Apply the TOP of SNAP BUTTON into the tap.

Stitch the top of the bar onto the marked line. Secure seam ends. Press the bar over the seam line towards the back edge. Work 2 SNAP BUTTON bottom parts, spaced out 1 ½” (4 cm), into the waist band ©.
