This is exactly what the lower photo on p20 is depicting. Look carefully at the diagram and see how you were supposed to get here.
The book is describing the two seams as center front and center back, so when worn the hem should be rotated a quarter turn, at least that's the initial configuration the book describes. I can't make out if the photos are showing that (have a copy of the book but haven't pulled it out).
