How to Stitch Sides of a Costume

Video Transcript

"Hi Shelly Cordsen here and we're finishing up our bath towel Sheppard's costume for toddlers. Now we just completed zigzagging around the neck. Now we are going to sew up the sides, now I have put right sides together, so we're now looking at the wrong side and you're going to stitch up the side all the way up to where your grommet is about twenty inches ok? And we'll just put a little pin there. Doesn't, quarter inch, half an inch I just come on the inside of this seam right here. And so we'll come over here, you don't need the zigzag you can just do a regular stitch. So I'll move my machine back and just stitch up the sides up to the underarm. Now another option is you can choose to do it with the right sides together and then it would just look like this. And you would see this rough edge on the outside verses the clean edge of the way we had it. But by doing it this way you're also catching your trim into your seam which makes it a little bit more finished look. And there we go and we'll just do the other side."
