Iron interfacing onto the wrong side of the fabric and lining. Use light weight fusible interfacing on the lining and medium weight fusible interfacing on the fabric.

To learn how to make piping check out our How To: Make Piping video on the “How-To” section.
Cut the front-side pocket and side pocket.
Hem or add foldover bias tape onto the top of the pockets.
Match up the notches of the side pocket pieces and the side fabric pieces.
Baste stitch the bottom and side edge of the side pocket to the side fabric pieces with a ½” (1.27 cm) seam allowance.
Repeat this step with the front pocket pieces and front fabric pieces.
Tip: If the mesh is stretchy, use an elastic foldover tape.
Making a seam in the middle of a pocket is optional.
Using the outer front and side fabric pieces, match the notches, right sides together.
Place piping between the layers of fabric, pin to hold.
Ensure that the piping length is sticking out .1" (25 mm) or longer on both sides from where the fabric layers end. This will make it easier when piping is sewn (ex. fraying or shifting).
Tip: The raw ends of all layers should be facing the same way.
With a zipper foot on, sew 5/8” (1.58 cm) pinned area and back stitch where the fabric ends.
Cut off excess piping.
Repeat step on the other side.
Using the lining pieces, match the notches of the front and the side, right sides together. Pin and sew pieces together 5/8” (1.58 cm).
Repeat step on the other side.
With wrong sides together, place the lining inside the main fabric. Match the seams together, pin and sew binding around the bottom edge of the fabric to complete.
