Step 1

Cut the fleece and Pul fabric into rectangles at 16×20 inches, then lay them together with their right sides facing, and pin them all the way around. Flip it over if needed so that the Pul side is at the bottom, then sew the edges with ¼ inch seam allowance, and leave a 3-inch opening on one side making sure to back tack at the start and finish.

Step 2

Trim the edges and corners, then turn the piece right side out through the hole you left earlier, and then hand stitch the opening closed. Press the seams nicely and arrange them as needed, then topstitch around the edges with ¼ inch seam allowance, and you’re done.
