SEW SIDES TOGETHER:
Sew around the edges leaving a 1/2 seam allowance and a 3 inch gap on one side.
At the corners, sew back-and-forth to secure the ties in place. Make sure to angle the tie strings in the corners. Take care not to sew any dangling portions of the ties!
Remember to leave an opening!
