19. Hem as directed with 5/8” seam allowance. With heavier fabric like denim, trim away ¼”, clean finish by serging or zig zagging raw edge.
20. Cut ruffle from red fabric and clean finish both edges in chosen manner --shirttail hem, zig zag or serged—so as to finish with 1 ¼” ruffle width.
21. Run gathering thread ¼” from top edge of ruffle. Draw up to fit leg, distributing gathers evenly.
22. Mark fold line for waistline casing 1 ½” from top raw edge. Pin ruffle to shorts leg with gathering thread directly on top of hem stitches. Stitch over gathering thread to join ruffle to leg.

23. Stack legs right sides together. Pin and stitch both front and back seam. Do not stitch short ends together. Clean finish with serging or zig zag stitch.

24. Bring short crotch pieces together. Pin seam allowances in opposite directions to reduce bulk.

25. Stitch crotch and clean finish the seam edge.
26. Clean finish waist line with zig zag or serge. If this raw edge is folded under ¼” and stitch in place as directed in pattern, the 1/8” header must be eliminated to insure enough casing width for the 1” elastic.

26. Stitch scant 1/8” from folded edge to create tiny header.
27. Finish casing and insert elastic as directed in pattern.

Now watch her grin as you show this to your special girl.
