They are so fast to make and great for the little ones!!Especially when you can use the novelty fabric that they like the best..I actually did not follow the pattern.I traced around a place mat and put some filler between the two fabrics and did the method where you turn it inside out then leave an opening big enough after sewing,that you can pull it through to the right side.But,that is me and you may want to do it your own way.
