• cut out a small piece of elastic to add closure;

• make an edge stitch and stitch along the slit lines for reinforcement;

• check if your stitch lines are aligned properly as shown;

• similarly stitch panel 4;

• align the panels together and make a stay stitch;

• the panel must look like this post stitching;

• stitch along the corners attaching the panels as shown;

• make sure the panels are neatly aligned and the corners are kept intact;

• attach an elastic if necessary;

• now make a centre stitch line to create a fold line;

• now you are done assembling the panels;

• sandpaper or burnout the edge to get an even finish;
