Cut out one Back Piece and one Front Body Piece.
Make 2 strips of piping:
a. Cut fabric strips 2″ wide by 6ft long.
b. Lay cord inside fabric and fold down.
c. Baste stitch along open end 1/4″ from edge.
Lay one body piece flat. Starting on one side of the body, align the edge of the piping to the edge of the body piece (leaving the top 1″ of the piping free).
Sew the piping onto body piece 1/2″ from edge.
Trim the end of piping leaving an extra 1″ free at end.
Starting at the opposite side of body, align the edge of the side strip with the edge of the piping/body and sew together 1/2″ from edge. Leave 1″ of both ends of strip free.
Sew 2nd piping piece to 2nd body piece.
Sew the two pieces together all the way around (leaving the strip ends open). Remember to snip around the edges of all pieces to prevent puckering.
Insert stuffing through the opening at the side strip. Use a stuffing tool (i.e., wooden dowel or chopstick) to reach edges.
Handstitch the stuffing hole closed.
