  Step 1

  I used an old pair of my husband's jeans to make 4 rectangular scraps.

• 

  Step 2

  I cut two equally sized scraps of batting.

• 

  Step 3

  I cut my shapes out of some random scraps I have lying around.

• 

  Step 4

  I placed the shapes on the denim where I needed them to be. Be sure to position them around the 1/4 inch seam so that they don't get caught during sewing.

• 

  Step 5

  Pin and Sew

• 

  Step 6

  Placement for sewing: Batting, denim right side up, denim right side down. Make certain that all of your edges are lined up. Missing an edge is so very annoying!

• 

  Step 7

  Sew around the edge in a basting stitch, making certain to backstitch at the beginning and end. Leave on end open for turning.

• 

  Step 8

  Gently turn it right side out.

• 

  Step 9

  Top stitch around, folding under the edge you left open for turning.

• 

  Step 10

  Stack the two pages on top of each other and sew straight down the middle, being careful to catch both pages. Use a denim needle since you are essentially stitching through 4 layers of denim and 2 layers of batting. It's rather thick.

  Step 11

  Enjoy!
