Make a little pillow case cover from one of the fabrics, slide it in, and there you go. Your mom will love that you made it for her.
The pattern called for you to put a hard bottom piece in before you sewed the bottom center together. I did that but I think I might try your suggestion as well. Something pushed down into the bottom on top of the lining would help pull it out I think. Get rid of some of the scrunchies. Thanks for the tip!
