Directions:

Step 1

First, download and print out the pattern, then cut around each one as well as every hole on each pattern, then cut the cotton fabrics, interfacing, and batting accordingly, make sure the batting and interfacing are 1cm (0.4 inches) smaller than the cotton fabrics. Attach the interfacing on the exterior fabrics and press them with an iron, trace and outline the gaps/ holes onto the fabrics, then place these fabric pieces fused with the interfacing on top of the batting sheet. Then on top of the exterior, place the interior fabric with their right sides facing each other, pin them all around in place, then sew around with a 0.7cm (0.3 inches) seam allowance, leaving the bottom unsewn. Make notches on the curved parts, then flip it over to their right side, sew the traced gap outline, then repeat the process with the other pattern except the square.

Step 2

Make a cut in the middle leaving the fabric with 0.3 – 0.5cm (0.1 – 0.2 inches) on the seam, sew a bias tape around the inside of each hole. Place the square exterior fabric fused with interfacing on top of the batting, then place the 4 pieces of sewn fabrics around the square, make sure the same patterns and shape are facing opposite each other, then sew them one by one with a 1cm (0.4 inches) space on each side then sew with a 0.5 – 0.7cm (0.2 – 0.3 inches) seam allowance. Fold the 4 pieces of fabric inward properly, then pin them in place, place a square interior fabric with its right side down so that the exterior’s right sides are facing each other. Pin them all around in place, leave a gap of about 17cm (6.7 inches) and sew with 1cm (0.4 inches), cut the corners, remove the pins and flip them right side out, sew the gap close, then press before using.
