- Cut 1 rectangle 10 ½” x 13 ½”
- Sew long basting stitches on each of the 13 ½” ends. Draw the gathers up to measure 8 ½”.Adjust the gathers evenly across the rectangle and set this gathered rectangle on top of the right side of one of the 8 ½” x 10 ½’’ rectangles: baste together
- Place the second 8 ½” x 10 ½” rectangle on top of the basted unit right sides together; stitch all the way around using a ¼” seam allowance and leaving a 3 ½” opening. Trim seams and clip corners: turn right sides out. Stuff the pillow and stitch the opening closed.
