Step 15Sew trim around edges.
Place back to front with all pockets facing in the same direction.
Clip or pin seam covering over top and bottom edges. Be careful that hooks remain sticking out. I used single fold bias tape on the front and back, top and bottom. However, any ribbon will do. You will need four pieces 14 inches long. Double-fold bias tape binding will work at the top but only work on the bottom if you did not use hooks.
Clip trim to sides removing previous clips. You may also staple here as long as you remember to remove stapes as you sew along. I used double fold extra wide bias tape. If you want to use quilt binding that works too and you can skip the side ribbons on the front because they may be covered. You will need two pieces 22 inches long. Tape will extend 1/2 inch beyond top and bottom edges. Tuck these under as you sew around.
Sew tops and bottoms together with a seam that reaches edges on both levels. When you reach the corner be sure to move side trim out of the way. Be aware that the hooks are sticking out as you sew by.
Sew sides with seam, tucking overlap under. You could also trim side seams to length of piece and use mitered corners if you want to get fancy.
You can try to sew around again with a 1/4 inch seam but my old machine could not handle going through all those layers again. Sewing through the large card stock is tricky because you have to keep lifting the whole thing as you sew while keeping the seam straight.
You might want to hand sew the bottom edges closed if it does not look closed.
