3. Place piping on right side of a print circle; align raw edges and baste, clipping the seam allowance as necessary.

5. Layer lining circles with right sides together; stitch together using a 1/2-inch seam allowance, leaving an opening for turning. Clip seam allowance and turn right side out.

6. Fill lining with shredded foam. Stitch opening closed. Insert filled lining into bed cover; zip closed.
