The second side panel is sewn in the same manner as the first side panel (Step 3). But this time, you have to make sure you have the right-sides together, since you created a right- and wrong-side by sewing the first side panel to the wrap-around panel. You also might have one side of the wrap-around panel that is a little longer than the other side, so start pinning on the "even" side of the wrap-around panel. See the photo below:
