1.

Place pillow form on an ironed, buttoned shirt. (If using batting, try a pizza pan to get a nice circle.) Trace the shape with a pen and cut the fabric 1/2 inch outside your line.

2.

With the outer panels facing each other, stitch all the way around — about 1/2 inch inside the fabric edge.

3.
