Begin with a triangle and a rectangle. In this example, for my 6 month old, I use a triangle, 13"x11.25x11.25, and a rectangle, 9"x1.5".
Fold the rectangular piece in half and stitch, leaving ends open to insert elastic.
Turn and insert elastic, using a safety pin. Tack ends.
On triangular piece, finish the two shorter edges by folding under, then folding under again. Stitch.
Fold lower corners in, 1 inch, press.
Fold edge, 1/4", then fold again, 1/2" and stitch close to edge leaving ends open.
Insert tacked end of casing into the opening, and stitch down securely. Repeat on other end.
That's it!
