Hi Susan. I seen a tutorial where the lady was sewing 2 squares of fabric around the edge with about 1/2 inch seam. She left a 2 " opening to turn it. She started off the fabric sewed in 1/2 inch then turned the fabric to sew around and ended by turning the fabric and sewing off it. I tried it and after turning it the opening kinda wants to stay inside all on it's own. Makes it a lot easier to sew shut evenly. I hope this makes sense and helps. I want to see the pictures too. lol
