STUFFING: Sew a pillow form (see below) to fit the pillow. If you don't like to sew you can fold/roll up some scrap material to use for the stuffing.

PILLOW FORM: Cut two pieces of material approximately 6 x 5-1/2. Placing the two pieces together, sew a 5/8" seam around the material being sure to leave about a 3" opening. Turn piece inside out and stuff with fiberfill. Now stitch the opening closed.

RUFFLE: Ch 4, 2 tr in same st. Now work 3 tr in each rem st around.
