To make it easier, make a 8 inch square as a pattern use pattern from a piece of cardboard. Cut another 8-inch squares of an old cloth to stack for the filling. Want to you the stack of fabric squares are thick enough to prevent a hot-pot, but thin enough to flexibly and can be sewn by.




Stack all levels, so that the outer layers look to the outside and inside are the filler layers. You can a few large straight pins through all layers to keep them together. Sew now cross through the middle of the stack. Sew across the Middle again perpendicular to the first books. You will have divided into 4 squares the square. Sew the stack again from corner to corner, and from the other corner to corner. The layers should be connected and is now stable.




To bind the raw edges of your creative craft, cut with a pair of scissors, so that all the layers are again at the edges even. Open cassette from a folded edge of the exposure time. The wider band angle seems easier to operate, but the narrow type makes a decent final product. Set the edges of the tape on the edge of the oven on a corner beginning and start stitching through all levels along the first fold line, which are approximately 1/4 inch from the edge. Down clean and slowly, the open band around the edge attach, until you reach the top corner. Cut out the shutter speed band to leave 3 inches (7 cm.), a hanging loop.




Fold the bias tape over the raw edge, so that the middle fold lines with outside of the pot holders and other fold raw edge of the shutter speed cassette hidden. Now, the best hand sew the binding down, on your creative craft a loop form, when to end.
