Step 8Start sewing!

Start sewing!
Begin with the four strips of equal width that you cut out last. Sew them at the short ends, to create one long strip.

If you've never sewn before, take it step by step: put two strips right sides together, and sew one end. Then unfold it into a longer strip. Put one of the remaining short strips at one end, and sew it to the longer strip, keeping the right sides together. Unfold it again, to make sure it looks right. Finally, put the last short strip at one end, and sew it to the longer strip, again keeping the right sides together.

Sew each seam a second time with a zigzag stitch over the edge, to prevent unraveling.
