Well, Let's see... I cut two circles, one of each fabric, the outside and the lining ( I lined my cloak) each circle was about 15 inches. I think I traced a large plate. Put WRONG sides of fabric together and sew around the edge leaving enough room to put your hand in and turn it right-side-out. Sew up the hole.Iron flat(very important).
Sew a finishing stitch as close to the edge of the fabric as you can. sew two more times around the circle- one seam one inch from the edge and one a half inch further in. Cut a small hole (like a button hole) between these two (like a rod-pocket on curtains) and run a cord through it with a saftey pin. Pull the cord tight... ta dah!
Let me know if this isn't understandable. I can see if I can re-write it to make more sense. OK?
