Fold the folded edges in half once again, then transfer the

closed along the edge.

Next we will begin turning the 2” seam allowance to create
the channel for your elastic. First, fold the raw edge of the
seam allowance over by 1⁄2”.
Next, fold the turned edge over once more so it meets the
visible tacking stitch line, creating a 1” channel. Pin in place,
then sew along the folded edge, leaving the left and right
sides of the channel open.
Next, fold and press the strip in half length-wise to create a
crease along the center.
