4. It is important to choose the longest stitch and that the tension of the sewing machine is to zero, in this way the fabric is pursed alone.
5. Once the gathered, we measure the contour of the shirt to match the outline of the skirt.
6. When both coincide, the threads that have plenty of having fueled a knot so that the frown does not move.
7. It is made an elastic sewing in the center of the two seams previously made for the frown. You can do it easily including a piece of elastic rubber.
