Instructions:
Step 1:
Get the fabric and fold it in half lengthwise. Next, fold the sides toward the center. Press it with an iron to make a crease.
Step 2:
From one corner, measure 0.4 inches and make a mark. Change the angle little by little, and make a mark until you get a quarter circle. Connect the marks. Repeat on the other side. Pin the fabric layers, then cut on the drawn line. Now you have 2 circles.
Step 3:
Draw a line horizontally and vertically on the center of one circle. Draw marks on the edges of half the circle spaced 1.4″ in between each one. Using a ruler, draw a line from those marks to the other edge of the circle. Make sure that the ruler is aligned with the center of the circle.
Step 4:
Using the same color thread, sew on the lines you draw earlier.
Step 5:
Place the other circle on top, then pin the edges. Sew all the way around with a 0.4-inch seam allowance and a 4.7 inches opening. Flip it right side out.
Step 6:
Fill the inside with filler, then stitch the opening.
Step 7:
Get a needle with a thread and insert it in the middle. Secure the thread with 2 to 3 stitches, then pass it to the other side of the cushion. Get a 0.4-inch square fabric and insert it into the thread. Pass the needle several times in the middle, then make 2 to 3 knots on the back to secure the thread. Cut the excess thread.
