Instructions:

Step 1:

Place the interfacing on the back of the outer fabric and press with an iron. Set aside.

Step 2:

Place the outer fabric with interfacing on top of the cotton batting right side up. Next, place the lining on the top right side down. Mark a 3″ line for the opening. Sew around using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Trim off some of the cotton batting to remove some of the bulk, then cut the corners just above the stitch line.

Step 3:

Turn the fabric right side out from the opening. Close the gap with hand stitching. Sew right around the edge with a 1/8″ seam allowance.

Step 4:

Measure 2 5/8″ from the corners and mark. Connect the points by folding the corners. Secure them with pins. Hand sew it on the marks, then flip it.

Step 5:

Press the corners open and fold the tips toward the outside. Secure them with pins.

Step 6:

Sew the buttons on the tips.
