Turn the pillow right side out and stuff. Stitch the opening close.

10. Pin a safety pin to the end of the drawstring to help feed the draw string through channel. Once the drawstring is through the channel tie the two ends together to keep it from pulling through to finish the bag.

To make the Bag:6. To make the drawstring, fold in each short end a ¼” and press in place. Fold one 1" x WOF strip in half lengthwise and press. Open the folded fabric and fold each long edge to the creased centerline and press.

7. Fold the pressed fabric in half again and press to make one ¼” x WOF strip. Top stitch down both long sides ⅛” in from the edge.

8. Place the bag front and bag back, right sides together, sew the two pieces together along one long side (Fig. 5) Open the two halves flat, wrong side up. Fold down the top edge a ¼” and press. Fold the edge down 1” and press again to make the drawstring channel. Topstitch along the bottom of the folded fabric to create the channel (Fig. 6).
