Divide your width measurement by 2 or 4, depending on the number of panels you want.

Fold the long edges of the fabric 1/2 inch and press them down.

Step 6
Fold the long sides again another 1/2 inch, press and pin.

Do this, and sew along the pins. Do this for all the panels before doing anything else.

On the bottom edge of the panel, turn the fabric up 1/2 inch and press.

On the same edge, turn up another 2 1/2 inches, press and pin down the edge.

With the edges pinned, sew along the three open sides of the bottom edge.

Step 11
On the top edge of the panel, turn the fabric up 1/2 inch and press.
