That's the way it is supposed to be, this is the magic of it. Ok sew the short ends matching the raw edges and then center the outside piece and then press it.Now turn it right sode out. Now fold in the short ends that were just sewn and pressed to the center on the inside piece. It will be the largest piece of fabric and pin. Now sew the the open ends on each side and then you can turn them right side out and you will have a nice tissue case and the magic of the larger piece will look like a binding on it.

Ok, I am not quite following this. :roll: When you say pin the fabrics together, do I center them so that there will be some of the longer piece showing on both ends, or just on one end? Maybe you could show pics of the different steps, if it wouldn't be too much trouble? That would be a big help.
