Exactly what Tartan said. I took a manilla file and made a template as large as I could. I didn't put buttons on my traveling one as I wanted to fold it flat. I made quite a few as gifts.

Of course, this is after you've sewn the lining and turned inside out. I love this pattern..here is a pix of one of my many...
