Step 10
Instruction provided: Pin straps to top edge (25cm) of front bib leaving a 1cm seam allowance at each side. pin back to front bib with right sides facing and sew around three sides leaving bottom edge open, catching ties in to.

Raw edges of the straps to the top of the front panel.
Pin the straps in place and throw a pin in the middle for more accuracy.
After stitching top and both sides (being careful not to sew the straps into the side) I have added a zigzag and cut the corner off the avoid bunching in the corner.
Turn it the right way out and give it a press all over.
Sew the raw edge (bottom) of the bib to the ironed fold on the told of the waistband. Keeping in mind which way you want to face the front.
Then fold the big down, get the waistband in the right position, pin in place and sew again.
Notice I have the top frill turned up. Instead of stitching the front of the waistband I have put it in a spot where it will be hidden under the top frill - very happy with this :)
You can see where the zigzag came through underneath instead of on the front.
Fold the bib back up and sew at the top of the waistband - Make sure it is straight!
