    Instructions
    1. Decide how large you want your pillow and cut out 2 equal sized squares to fit that size. Make sure that your pillow is large enough to attach your zipper and buttons. We suggest using a zipper that fits diagonally across your pillow.
    2. Cut out the 2 pockets that will be affixed to either triagular half of the pillow.
    3. Sew lace around the bottom edges of the pockets.
    4. Sew the zipper to the right side of one of your large square pieces.
    5. Sew the buttons to the same piece of material as the zipper parts.
    6. Cut a slit into each pocket no bigger than each matching button. Then Sew the pocket to the large square.
    7. lay the two large squares, so that the ride sides face each other. Take the lace and lay it so that the ruffled edge is inside of the two large squares, with the straight edge of the lace positiioned even with the edge of the two squares.
    8. Sew the two squares and lace together. Once you reach halfway to the end of the fourth side, stop sewing. Turn the large squares right side out. Then fill the pillow with stuffing.
    9. Close the opening by turning the edges of the two squares in with the lace affixed in the middle, then sew a straight stitch until the pillow is complete.
