- Assemble Pillow

Cut piece of black felt that is a 22 inches square . Sandwich black felt between both pieces of cream felt, right sides showing . Center cream pieces of felt and pin into place to prevent shifting .

- Sew Pillow

Sew all four sides of pillow using cream thread and a sewing machine . Place stitch line approximately 1/2 inch inside cream square to create layered flange around pillow . Leave a 1/8-inch hole at the bottom to insert pillow form. Tip: To make a clean turn when sewing pillow corners, leave needle in lowered position and rotate fabric around the needle. This will prevent the corner from being rounded.

Carefully pull apart gap in pillow cover, and insert pillow form between the cream felt with bat applique pieces and the black felt piece. Pin opening closed, then sew shut with the machine. Trim threads to finish. Tip: To store pillow for the season, stuff tissue paper under bat wings to support their shape.
