Sewing is my favorite bit! So much easier than cutting.

We'll be using a 1/2 inch seam allowance. :D

Take your main panel and place it right side up. Then, take one of the smaller panels and place it wrong side up at the edge of the large panel. Once your edges are aligned, pin down the side about an inch and a half in. Repeat on the other side!

Helpful tip: On the left side, have the pointy bit of the pin facing away from you. On the right side, face the pointy bit toward you. This will keep you from stabbing yourself while sewing.

Make sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of the cloth!
