With your fingers feel between the layers to be sure you are not going to sew the ribbon in the side seam except where it is pinned at the fold. Pin the rest of the side, matching up fabric and casings at the top. Pin the fabric and ribbon close to the fold. The end of the ribbon will connect at the bottom fold. The black dashed line shows how the ribbon lies between the layers of fabric. Yes, the ribbons cross through the front casing!
