Step 1: Organize your required items

Step 2: Cut and sew the edges

The first thing you'll want to do is cut out your material. I used some scrap material and made my cat pillow 7 inches wide by 6 inches high. You can change this to make it bigger or smaller.

You can either cut out two exact pieces with the same measurements, or you can use a longer piece and fold it so you'll have to sew one less seam. Either way is fine, but I like to cut the two exact pieces out.

Next, lay the pieces out and you can pin them together if you like -with the wrong-sides facing out. Then head over to the sewing machine and sew three of the four edges -  leaving one edge completely open for stuffing.

Step 3: Fill the pillow with catnip!

Next you'll want to take the piece and turn it right-side out. Then, take your stuffing and fill it up as much as you like. Then take out the catnip and sprinkle it in there and mix it up really well with the stuffing.

Fold the open edges inward and pin it closed. Then, go to the sewing machine and topstitch to close the final seam up. That's it and you are done!
