That's the method I use, though I usually do it by machine, sewn in one step, 
slit-fabric-side up.

When you get to the point, keep the needle down, manipulate the fabrics into 
their new arrangement to sew the other side.  Make sure the pieces are turning 
smoothly on the needle, and not twisting and distorting.
