 * At this point you should try your shorts on to determine where you want the waist to sit and the length of the hem. //__Allow a 4cm hem for the waistband__// and //__a 3cm hem for your shorts.__//** **If you need to cut any extra off, check with your teacher first.**


 * Waist**
 * 1) If you need to cut excess off do this once you have checked with your teacher.
 * 2) Overlock around the waist.
 * 3) Fold over the 4cm allowance for the waistband and iron flat. Pin to hold in place.
 * 4) Stitch around the waistband, starting at the back and remember to leave about 8cm to thread the elastic in.
 * 5) Determine how long you need your elastic by measuring where your shorts will sit on your hips/waist in cm. Reduce the amount by 10cm.
 * 6) Using a large safety pin thread the elastic through the waist band. Overlap the elastic flat and stitch it together. Reverse back and forth 3 times to make it secure.
 * 7) Stitch the 8cm opening closed on the waistband
