1. From fabric cut 2 pieces of the oval (floor) and 2 pieces of the sides

2. From quilters batting cut 1 oval piece and 1 side piece (if the batting is very thin, double it)

3. Take the two oval fabric pieces and the oval batting and layer it with the batting in between
    (right sides of fabric should face outside).

4. Zigzag all around

5. Take the two fabric sides and face them right sides together. Sew along the top with a
    1/4" seam (sew the side where the dip is)

6. Make small cuts along the dip (make sure you don't cut the thread)

7. Turn to right side and insert side batting

8. Zigzag along the bottom but leave the last 2" on either side

9. On your oval mark your middle front and back

10. Align dip on side with front middle on oval and pin all around

You could add a pillow by cutting 2 more oval pattern parts and stuffing them with batting.
