Step 1
This photo looks scarier than it really is!
Cut out a square of paper measuring 15cm by 15cm.
Rule in the Seam Allowances at 1.5cm. Mine are purple.
Rule a line vertical line down the centre, 7.5cm from each edge. Mine is pink.
Along this line, measure 4cm down from one Seam Allowance line. This is the black line between the two red circles.
Parallel to this line, measure 2cm down from each of the edge Seam Allowance lines. This is the black line between the two pink circles.
Rule a diagonal line between the lower red and pink circles, extending it out to the edge of the paper. Mine is green. Do the same on the other side.

Step 14
Fold the side edges out flat. With the the right side up and the bottom edge still folded over, sew along the pressed crease 1.5cm from the edge. Only sew within the bottom edge fold.
That's a lot harder to explain than it is to do! Hopefully the photo below will make more sense. The wrong side fold at the bottom is the bottom edge that has just been pressed over. The right side bit to the left of the crease is the folded out side edge. Hopefully you can see where I've stitched in green on the wrong side.
