"Hi. Welcome to Expert Village. I'm Gretchen Soares with Butterfly Boutique. Okay, now that we have our pattern pieces cut, we're going to do the first step which is seaming the shoulder seams together and if you notice, we have two sets of each because we're making two bibs here. So, unattaching all the pattern pieces, you're going to take your first piece of polka dots and your first set of shoulder straps. This is the only tricky part is to make sure that the curve is going in the right direction. So, you're going to line it up so it curves in when it crisscrosses. It will lie smoothly. Otherwise, it will buckle across the back. So we're going to flip these down, now that we know we have them in the right position, and we're just going to take simple seams across these edges. We're going to do the same thing to one of the dump truck sets, laying it out to make sure the curve goes the right direction, two pins to hold the shoulders together."
