You'll Need:
1-3/4 yds. pre-gathered lace, 1-1/4" wide
3/4 yd. elastic, 1/4" wide
1-1/4 yds. double-faced-satin ribbon, 5/8" wide

Cut one piece of 1/4" elastic to top-layer circumference measurement.

Add 6"-8" to top-layer circumference measurement. Cut two pieces of 1-1/4" pre-gathered lace and one piece of 5/8" ribbon to this length.

Stitch the two pieces of lace together (whipstitch by hand or machine zig-zag) along finished edges. Center ribbon over seam in lace.Stitch along both edges, creating a casing.
