"Now I have my two sides of my Velco panel and I want to fold down on one side an inch for each of these panels, and press that, just to hold it in place. For both, both sides of the panels, one inch on both sides. Next, I'm going to pin the Velco in place, and you want to have your, this inch folded down this way, and this one going that way. Because that's going to be the center, so the fold's to the center while you're working. And you have two sides of Velco, you have the loop side and you have the hook side. The hook side I typically like to put on the inside edge. So you'll apply this and pin it to the inside edge of one side, and you could just lay it right here, right along, right along the edge of that folded section. Pin it, pin it all the way down so it holds in place, and next we'll be sewing that. And, so that goes like that and then the, the fuzzy, or the loop side, we're going to pin to the top. So this one was pinned to the bottom, and this is pinned to the top of that folded over section. There's our folded over section and we're pinning our Velco to the top. And pin it all the way down and next we will be sewing that in place, and you can see when it's finished, the two will overlap and that will be your closure."
