Read ahead for the tutorial...

First of all, you're going to hit got to excuse the awful lineament of these pictures. An iPhone only doesn't accept adept pictures without the correct lighting. Someday I'll larn a squeamish camera.

What you'll need:
* Fleece... 2 contrasting colors if yous desire the ring at the bottom to last a unlike color
* Sewing machine
* twenty minutes!

Start past times cutting out the pieces. I only used a ruler together with a marking to describe the blueprint on the fabric, together with then cutting them out. This size is suitable for 2T-5T. One size fits all toddlers/preschoolers.
You'll take away two triangles that are xiv 1/2" high together with eleven 1/2" broad at the bottom, one long strip that's 21 1/2"x4 3/4" together with four pocket-size strips that are 7"x1/2".
piece

Overlap the 4 pocket-size strips to brand a star together with position a stitch inwards the meat to concur them together.
piece

Sew the 2 triangles alongside correct sides together leaving the bottom opened upward together with most an inch opened upward at the top.
piece

From the within of the triangles, force the meat of the pocket-size strips through the 1" hole at the top.
piece

Sew over the strips, closing the 1" hole.
piece

When yous plow the triangles correct side out, the strips volition last sticking out the top.
piece

Fold the large strip inwards one-half together with sew together the 2 ends together (sorry, this pic is difficult to see).
piece

Now flexure that strip inwards one-half lengthwise hence the seam is hidden together with pivot the edges onto the bottom of the triangle pieces, correct sides together (although the strip at the bottom won't necessarily hit got a correct side). Sew them together. And telephone outcry upward it good!
