Finishing: put 2 crocheted pieces wrong side together( right side up), sew them together leaving a small part open for the polyester filling. Insert the filling the way you love your pillow to be full and then finish sewing the remaining part. Attach the cord around your pillow on the side where the seam is visible leaving some pieces on both sides of the cord for the bow to be made.
