This particular style of adding bias has you wrap the bias excess over the edge of the seam allowances and then (as the instructions say) you turn BOTH the seam allowances and the bias down again towards the wrong side of the side panel so that none of the bias is visible from the outside. This essentially means that the bias sort of acts a little bit like a facing, but with the added bonus of the edge of the bias being tucked up underneath the seam allowances for a clean finish. I hope this helps. I know that many bias applications leave the bias visible from the outside, so you need 3x + the width of the seam allowance. This is just a different application that I think has a neater finish and I use it on lots of my patterns because I love how professionally it finishes, and especially love a little contrast print for fun that is just barely visible :) If you need further explanation, I am happy to help.<br /><br />And please let me know if you have specific questions regarding sizing as well- but yours looks perfect!
