6. To give the fly a sporty faux look, outline the faux fly with chalk (figure I) and topstitch on the left front through all of the layers. Once the first row is complete, topstitch again, and then double stitch the crotch seam, bartacking across the topstitching on the faux fly piece. Finish the faux fly by removing the basting stitch.

8. Hem the top edge of the pocket and fold and press the edges under. Mark the centerline on the pocket and pin the pocket to the bib piece (piece without the interfacing ). Double topstitch around the sides and bottom and also up the marked line to create two pockets.
9. Stitch the two bib pieces together. Trim the outside seams; then turn, press and double topstitch.
