Directions:
Step 1
Using a 23cm or 9-inch plate, place it on top of each fabric, then trace the shape and cut it out. Stack them together with the interfacing fabric at the very bottom, the main fabric in the middle, and the lining fabric at the very top. Sew it around with a ¼ seam allowance leaving only an opening of about 1 inch. Cut around the fabric’s sewn edges and leave only about 1/8 inch seam allowance making sure to not cut the thread and stitches. Turn it right side out, then hand stitch the gap close making sure to fold and tuck the edges in.

Step 2
Press both sides well with an iron, then fold it in half with the lining fabric facing each other, find and mark the midpoint. Spread it open, rotate, fold it again in half, then find and mark the midpoint. Join two midpoints together at the center and sew them by hand, sew the other two midpoints at the center as well and sew. Fold it properly until the fabric at the back is squared, then fold and tuck the curved corners over to the back. Pin it in place then sew by hand, repeat the process to the other 3 curved corners.
