·      Using a 7-9mm double piping foot, stitch one the folded edge of the packet, near zipper teeth.

·      Pin the folded edge of the pillow back over the zipper teeth and up the edge of the fold on the placket. Although is has a curve, you will able to sew it onto this straight edge. 

·      Trim the pillow back to match the pillow front.

·      Pin or Wonder Clip edges, and sew all the way around.  

·      Finish raw edges by serging or use a zig-zag stitch.

·      To keep corners looking full, sew a small amount of batting in each corner.
