"Ok. Now, that you have it all cut out we are going to remove the pins. And, we're going to make sure that both sides line up nicely and look the same. And, then we're going to hold it up. Now, this is actually not for me. This is going to be for one of my kids. But, I want to hold it up and think if it's going to hit them right. If it's going to be able to have the straps on the sides where we need them. This is your chance to make adjustments if you need to, if you decide it's not wide enough at the top or anything like that. This is your chance to readjust it. This is also a time you can decide if you were to hold it up and you decide that's way too long, very easy to snip off the bottoms now. Easier to do it now, than to try to do it later. So, this is you chance to make sure that everything is the way that it's supposed to be. And, then you actually take the two pieces that you have. And, this is the front that I decided on. It's actually fabric that I got from Joanne Fabrics, that already had pieces pieced together for me. And, this is a good project to use it for. Because, it has nice clean edges. Put this on top of the other one or vice versa. Make sure the right sides are in on the linen. It really doesn't matter. But, on the other fabric it would look pretty silly with that on the outside. And, then just pin it as much as you feel like you need to. And, I don't like a lot of pins. Because, I end up poking myself. So, a lot of times for me less is more. Ok. We're just going to pin the pieces we want to leave the openings where the straps will need to go. Usually, one in the middle so it doesn't slide around. And, that's how you do that part."
