5. Open the rectangles and match the right side of the fabric.
6. Stitch the two pieces together at the curve. This will form the crotch seam
of the wrap pants.
7. Find the edges with the seams. These will be the center front and center
back waist seams. Fold over 1-1/2 to form the waist line casing. Stitch
along the edge leaving the ends open to run the ribbon through.

8. To finish the edges on the wrap pants use a three thread rolled hem with
the serger or a small zigzag stitch with the sewing machine along the
sides and hem. For a softer hem use woolly nylon in both loopers of the
serger.
9. Cut the 5 yard piece of ribbon in half. Use a bodkin or large safety pin to
run a piece of ribbon through the front and back casings.
10. Sew a small seam through all layers of the casing at the seam to secure
the ribbon from slipping out of the casing.
