Instructions

1. 

   cut out your paper pattern I drew this one out myself but you can use patterns online

2. 

   cut out your fabric pieces I used to layers of a bamboo cotton blend a fabric print for the top and black fleece for the bottom because it's water resistant

3. 

   place your padding on your upside down top fabric

4. 

   sew a line straight down the padding to keep it in place

5. 

   sew around the padding

6. 

   sandwich the padding between your fabric print and fleece and sew around the whole thing

7. 

   sew a line down the wings to help them fold better

8. 

   I did a zig-zag stich twice around

9. 

   add your buttons or clasps to the wings

10. 

    and your done!
