Step 2Measure and plan

measure and plan
The key step before we start cutting up the fabric till be to determine how big you want the "pillow" to be. The easiest thing i found was to use a pencil to stencil the cutting board on the back of the fabric then using a ruler take away ~2 inches from each side. This will be the biggest panel of the pillow. So redo the measuring if you need to.

Next you want to plan on how deep (high) your pillow will e. to mine I added 3 inches to each side. I did it so high because i wanted to have stuffing between the top panel and my legs when the weight of the laptop was on top of the desk. Think 3d and you should be able to get this step done with not too many issues.

When you have that done, set it aside.
