- Thus, "ship" to the end and fasten the tape with pins. Unnecessary edges can be trimmed.
- Now you need to shoot on the edge of the workpiece and tape. In order for the work to be accurately accurate, it is better to ban in advance ribbons to the lining of large stitches.
- Now you need to sew a future pillowcase and set the ribbons to the lining. The second part of the pillowcase - the rear sew from two blanks of the mustache.
