I only used 1 layer of fabric and then used 1 layer of warm & natural. On the tapestry ones I used a fusible pellon and ironed it on. I just used some polyester craft batting for the stuffing. I'm going to try one with the crushed walnut shells. I have a log cabin chicken that a friend made me and she only used the walnut shells and didn't fill it up to the top.
