I LOVE CIRCLES! So it seemed only natural I make a circle floor pillow for my children. It's not as hard as you think :) here's how!
Materials:
1: 1 yard fabric
2: 2 packages of maxi piping
3: fiber fill

1: Turn fabric inside out. Measure out your size circle as a 17" diameter and trace onto wrong side of fabric. Cut two of these.

2: With your remaining fabric measure out a rectangle 9x 51". I had to sew two pieces together to make mine long enough.

3: Start pining your piping around the edge of your circle. Have your raw edge of the piping facing outwards.

Overlap the ends and pin in place.

Do this to the other circle. Now you're ready to sew!

5: Sew piping on both circles.

Starting to take shape!

6: With right sides together, pin your long rectangle piece onto your circle (top piece)

7: Do the same now to the bottom piece.
OPTIONAL STEP:
I never like to throw away scraps, hence the name Satin Pieces! So I try to always use up extras. What I did here is take the remaining pieces of Bias tape and sew them on each end of the pillow to make a handle.
8: Turn right side out and make sure all stitches are secure and all looks pretty with your pillow. Now the fun part...STUFF IT! :)
9: Hand stitch the opening and you are finished!!!! Now you're little one can have a comfy seat all to his/her own :)
Enjoy!!
