Now it’s time for the Stiff N’ Shape walls. Insert the Stiff N’ Shape
between the lining and the outer blocks, then pin as shown. Trim
any excess Stiff N’ Shape, as needed.

Take your two straps and line them up together.
Now it’s time to work on the draw string lining. We will be using
the “French Seam” technique.
Once the Stiff N’ Shape is trimmed, pin all three layers together,
and sew a 1/4” seam.
TIP: Do not stitch onto Stiff N’ Shape, you will stitch right above.
Next, sew 1/8” from the edge on both sides to keep the two strap
pieces together.
Sew 1/4” along the open edges of the draw string lining on the left
and right sides. Leave 2” open at the top of both sides.
TIP: You may use pins if necessary.
