I think I know what's going on. If you look in the pattern pieces they probably have a facing piece that you missed. What they are telling you to do is sew the fashion fabric together, wrong sides together with the interfacing sandwiched in the middle. Then sew the facing along the CF edge and fold to inside of the bodice so the raw edge doesn't show. Really what they should ahve said is cut 2 bodice fashion fabric, 2 LINING and 2 interfacing.
Personally I think this is a really silly way to do it. Why not sew a casing - this could be a ribbon or bias tape, to the CF of the wrong side of the bodice lining pieces then sew the bodice fashion fabric and interlining to it right sides together, turn it and you don't need a facing. I hope that makes sense.
This is why I've come to pitch the directions, I find I usually have a better way. I know one of the simplicity designers and she told me the designers don't write the directions, it explains so much doesn't it? :-P
