Place 2 together with right sides facing. Pin all the way around leaving approximately 12 cm opening to allow for fill to be placed.
Stitch with 1.5 cm seam allowance. Then clip curves.
Turn to right sides facing out and press. Then take the tieback infill and stuff the covers through the opening you have left. Press again. Slip stitch the opening closed and press.
Mark on each end where you want to sew on the rings. They should be centred and approximately 1.5 - 2.5cm from the edge. Hand stitch these on. |
