2. Turn right side out. Lightly press fold opposite long seam to mark the center. Place flat on a table with the long seam down. Match the fold to the long seam to center the front on the back. Fold the front corner flat to the front so it looks like a diamond (Dia. C). bottom seam

3. Find the center of the diamond and mark with a pin. Measure halfway from the pin to the top point and mark a line from edge to edge. Sew across the line, back stitching at the beginning and end. Fold the top point on the stitched line, matching the seams. Secure in place by hand sewing the decorative button close to the point (Dia. D). Note: Do not sew through all layers, sew only through the diamond, not the back.

6. Pin well along the marked 4" line. Check that the Poly-Pellets® are pushed away from the seam and sew the opening closed, backstitching at each end. Sew two more rows ½" apart on the drawn lines to form a channel (Dia G).

7. Refer to Diagram H to fold the open end over twice on the drawn lines to form a 1" tube; stitch close to the edge; fold the tube over the channel and tack the corners to the sides. 8. Insert your electronic device into the small pocket (see cover photo).
