Step 3 : Constructing the Body Piece
1) Place a body piece with the right side of the fabric facing up.
2) Place the shoulder straps at the upper part of the body piece with the short end at least 3cm away from the fabric.
3) Thread a short piece of webbing over the female side of a buckle. You should have 2 of these short webbing with buckles.
4) Place one of the threaded webbing at the side of the body piece with the buckle on top of the fabric. Repeat at the other side.
5) Place the other body piece on top of the assembled pieces with the wrong side of the fabric facing up. Your assembly should now look like this
6) Pin all the pieces, webbing and shoulder straps in place.
7) Sew along the edges of the body piece, leaving behind the lower part of the body piece open. (If you are sewing a real SSC, be sure to sew across the shoulder straps and waist webbings at least 3 times.)
