Instructions

  • Note: All seam allowances are 1/2". 
  • Cut the following pieces:
    Fabric A: 7" x 30" (cut 2)
    Fabric B: 7" x 7" (cut 2)
    Insulbrite: 7" x 7" (cut 2)
    Trim: 2 pieces, 7" long (cut 2, optional)
    A piece of batting and two pieces of fabric lying on top of a green mat
  • Using an 7" round-something like a plastic plate, cut a curved end on both ends of both pieces of Fabric A, and one end of each piece of Fabric B and the Insulbrite. You can either trace on the fabric and cut with regular scissors, or use your rotary cutter.

  • For Fabric B, hem the straight edge, using a 1/2" hem. If you'd like, sew on some cute trim, like these pom poms.

  • Stack the fabrics as follows: 1 piece of Insulbrite on each end, first piece of Fabric A right side up, Fabric B right side up on each end, second piece of Fabric A, right side down. Pin everything together.
    Sew all the way around the edge, leaving a 3" gap for turning along the long edge of Fabric A.
    Clip the curves so that they'll lie flat.

  • Turn the entire thing right-side out. Press the edges so that everything lies flat.
    Topstitch 1/8" around the edge, closing your turning gap within the topstitch.

  • And that's it! You have a fun neighborhood gift. Including a Hearty Chicken Bake or one of your favorite casseroles would be a nice touch as well. Bon Appétit!
