The middle of the bottom of the bib should be determined, and pinned to
the middle of the upper edge of the belt, to which the skirt has already
been attached. The belt should be fastened to the wrong side of the bib.
The gathering string of the bib should be drawn up, leaving 2 inches of
fulness on each side of the middle. The bib should be pinned, basted,
and sewn to the belt. The remaining long edges of the belt should be
turned in one quarter of an inch, and the ends one inch. The edges of
the other belt piece should be turned in in the same way, and should be
pinned over the belt to which the skirt and the bib have been attached
(with all the edges turned in), and basted carefully, to keep the edges
even. The skirt and the bib should be hemmed to this upper belt, and all
the remaining edges should be overhanded.
