glue approximately 2cm away from the finished edge.
Allow this to dry (according to the instructions on
the glue).

Once dry, cut off the fabric along the glued edge to
stop it from fraying inside the cover
Using a straight stitch on the sewing machine, stitch
a small hem along one long edge of each piece of
backing fabric.
5. Place the punched piece flat on a table with the
front facing up. Place the two pieces of backing
fabric, right side down, onto the punched piece.
The long edges without the hems should line up
with the outer edge of the punched piece. The
hemmed edges should overlap in the middle to
form the envelope opening.

6. Pin or clip the backing fabric and the punched
piece together all the way around the edge.
