Instructions:

Cutting Fabric

• Cut the fabric Tula Pink Suited and Booted
• Be aware it is directional and you want all 4 strips to read properly horizontally
• Cut two 2.5"x9" strips and two 2.5"x14" strips of the  fabric for the log cabin frame.
• Cut one 17"x17" square of Tula Pink Suited and Boote fabric for the back panel.

Make the log cabin frame:

• Take one of the 2.5"x9" strips and sew it to the top edge of the French velvet panel using a 1/4" seam allowance.
• Press the seam towards the fabric strip.
• Sew the other 2.5"x9" strip to the bottom edge of the French velvet panel using a 1/4" seam allowance.
• Press the seam towards the fabric strip.
• Sew the 2.5"x14" strips to the left and right edges of the French velvet panel using a 1/4" seam allowance.
• Press the seam towards the fabric strip.

Sew in the zipper:

Pay attention to place the zipper on the bottom of the cover to not have your kitty cat upside down !
