- 1). Measure the length and width of the bumper material. Add 1/2 to 1 inch to both the length and width. Cut one piece of batting for each bumper.
- 2). Lay out the two pieces of bumper fabric on a flat surface, with right sides together, matching the raw edges. Center the batting on top of the fabric and pin it in place. The edges of the batting will hang over the edges of the fabric slightly.
- 3). Measure and mark 2 inches to the left and 2 inches to the right from the center of the bottom of the bumper. Begin at one mark and sew across the bottom, up the side, across the top, down the other side and across the bottom until you get to the second mark. Use a 1/2-inch seam allowance and leave the 4-inch section open.
- 4). Clip the corners diagonally and cut off the extra batting, 1/8 inch from the stitching line. Use the 4-inch opening to turn the fabric right sides out and turn the batting inside.
- 5). Sew the opening closed by hand or machine, sewing as close to the edges as possible. Free-stitch decorative designs through the center of the bumper to help hold the batting in place.
