Step 1: Cut one piece of the duck cloth or canvas 9 inches wide x 7 ½ inches high.
|
Step 2: Cut one piece of medium weight cutaway stabilizer just smaller than the duck cloth. Using the spray stabilizer-spray the stabilizer and smooth it to the back of the fabric.
|
|
|
|
Step 3: Find and mark the center of the duck cloth (canvas) with the fabric pen. I folded mine in half both ways to get my center.
|
Step 4: Hoop the duck cloth along with the stabilizer, centering in the hoop.
|
|
|
|
Step 5: Embroider the design. Remove the fabric from the hoop when finished. Cut away the excess stabilizer from the back.

Step 14: Place the panels right sides down onto the duck cloth and pin in place on the outer edges. Sew the outside raw edges.

Step 15: Open the panels out and press the seams away from the center panel. Top stitch 1/8 inch on the seams just sewn.
|
Step 16: Cut one piece of the duck cloth (canvas) - 7 ½ inches x 15 inches. This should be the same size of the front finished panels. Pin this fabric to the top panel-leaving about 3 inches open on the side that doesn't have the pocket. Sew using 1/4 inch seam all the way around, except for the opening for turning around.

Step 17: Clip all 4 corners- close to the seam, but not cutting the threads.
