Cut two pieces of cotton fabric in the following dimensions:Adult - 9.5” x 6.5”Child - 7.5” x 5 “

Mark one piece of fabric one inch from each corner on the short sides as shown.

Cut two 6” pieces of elastic (adult) and machine tack to the marked fabric. (For the kid sizes, you can use 4-5” elastic based on sizing. I also make these with ties. You will need 4 strips of 12-14” bias tape. Tack each piece on the mark as shown with the elastic. I machine tack for extra reinforcement but you can pin it - whatever is easiest!)

Step 3. Pin the other fabric face down to the tacked fabric.

Step 4. Sew it up leaving a hole at the top or bottom of a long side so that you can turn it. I used a little less than a ½” seam allowance.

Step 5. Turn it right side out and poke out the corners.

Step 6. Iron it out flat.

Step 7. Iron the first pleat.

Step 8. Iron the second pleat. You can pin the pleats but I don’t. I just hit it with steam from the iron.

Step 9. Sew along the edges making sure to close the hole.
