At Home Instructions (Prior to Class)
Make your fabric tubes. Select one 2-1/2” x 42/44” fabric strip and one batting strip. Lay fabric strip wrong side up with batting on top of the fabric strip.
Fold the unit in half lengthwise and press. Open up and fold each side to the middle and press then fold in half again and press. This makes a tube. Sew to close or pin. The rest will be done in class.
