Instructions: 1. Cut out all your fabrics as mentioned above. 2. Sew your lotus flower quilt block, it will measure 8.5” x 8.5” 3. Attach the side strips to your quilt block 4. Draw a 13” diameter circle (or a 6.5” radius) 5. Cut out a 13” diameter circle 6. Iron on fusible interfacing and quilt to your liking 7. Attach the fusible interfacing to the side strips of fabric ( 2x 32.5”x 3” and 1x 7”x 5.5”) Sew the endless zipper to the long sides of the two 32.5” x 3” strips of fabric. And top stich along the zipper. 8. Stitch the 7”x 5.5” fabric to one end of the zipper part. Top stitch along the seam as well. 8. Lay the two pieces of fabric for the handle right sides together and attach fusible interfacing to one side. Stich along the long edge with a ¼” seam allowance. Then turn inside out and top stich along the long edge again with a small seamallowance. 9. Attach the handle to the side panel and cut to width of panel. 10. Now clip the side panel to the top circle till the side panel ends meet. This is where you stick your side seam, this way the side panel fits exactly to your yoga pillow top. Once the top piece is stitched in, repeat for the bottom circle. 11. Open up your zipper and turn your pillowcase inside out. Tadaaaa your yoga pillowcase is all done.... Now take your time for some mindful meditation and enjoy :-) Thank you so much to Riley Blake Designs for supplying the absolutely adorable Stardust fabric series designed by Beverly McCullough that I used for this amazing project.
