It's just a square of fabric, about 4" on a side. The exact measurement isn't critical. Fold in half diagonally and sew all of one side and most of the other, leaving about an inch gap for turning and stuffing. Turn and stuff firmly, then close the hole. Tack the two points (the points at the ends of the fold, not the one that's sewn on both sides) together. A variation: fold the square in half diagonally, but include a short length of 1/8" ribbon in the seams at the fold. Make sure the length of the ribbon is inside the folded fabric, with just the base caught in the seam (not sticking out where you can see the ribbon while you're sewing). When it's turned and stuffed, use the ribbons to tie the points together. You can embellish by including lace in the seam, or cover the seam afterward with braid. Robin P.
