Bike Chaps

Step 7 Waistband

For the waistband casing, first position the ties. One should be on the public side and one on the wrong side, mid-thigh position. Sew the long raw edges of waistband and pants top right sides together, matching center front and catching ties. Fold casing back over to wrong sides of pants and lay waist strap in (again, check your fittings). Pin carefully and "stitch in the ditch" from the public side of the garment - that is, sew in the seam you just created, being careful not to catch straps.

Your pants are ready for biking! These pair sold out almost immediately after listing on Etsy.
