Step 1

Cut fabric and organize fabric pieces.

Adhere fabric and batting with basting spray or baste a few stitches along the top and the bottom to keep it together. I used basting spray.

Find the midway point on the lining/batting piece and mark with a pin. Place pocket 1" above the pin and pin in place.
