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!
