An apparatus for forming and sewing a waist band to complete a pair of briefs. The apparatus includes a band maker for forming the waist band. The apparatus also includes at least one sewing machine adapted to receive the waist band and a pair of briefs and to sew the waist band onto the pair of briefs.
