"JENNIFER CROW: Hi. This is Jennifer and I'm the owner of wedgiewear.com, and we're here with Expert Village. Now see, now you go back, and then we do this side and we do the other side. So this right here, we'll just cut off the band, and what you want to do is kinda leave it a little bit long, so you can fold it inside and make it match. So we're going back to this side, turn your suit, like so, and then you're going to take these pieces. And this part, you can do with the serger again. It's going to just kinda cut off the additional. So try not to do it at the ends, and work up all the way until you reach the band. And then you're just going to go fit, and then just cut off your threads. And again, if you did this with the serger, it would give you that nice clean line, like we have there. Then go around and do it to the other side. This one, you do have the band, so you do want to make sure to pull around there, and then your other side as well. Then once you kinda cleaned up your threads, cut off this remaining part here. There you go. You have your first swimsuit."
