1
Measuring the length and width of the mattress to determine its final size mattress.
2
Cut the top of organic cotton mattress. You will need to cut a piece of the back and a front part equal to the final size of your mattress, plus an additional 5 inches long and the width to account for the seam allowance. If you can cut a large enough back and front of a single length of fabric, small parts sections together, then set the pieces and sew them together with a straight stitch with organic yarn. Use your sewing machine to speed up this step and leave a 1/2-inch seam. Iron the seam flat before.
3
Collect organic wool batting to create a platform that measures the width and the final length of your mattress. Use a whip stitch to baste batting strips together.
4
Sandwich batting between the front and cotton back. Fit the wrong side again on a flat surface. Place the batter directly on top of the pad backing and position of the front pad on the top, right side up.
5
Baste the layers together to prevent movement when tying wool batting instead. Sew long running stitches once and basting every few inches from the center out. Stitch diagonal lines from the center to every corner of your mattress, then straight stitches from the center to the edge of the pad.
6
Tie the mattress cover. Use organic wool yarn to anchor the batting in place. Thread the needle and sew the thread through the layers and backup. Remove the needle and thread to tie up loose ends in a square knot. Create a tie every 4 inches to ensure your organic wool batting lots not within its sheath.
7
Remove the basting stitching when you have attached all the layers together.
8
Fold under the raw edges of the front and back of the pad until their edges extend 1/4 inch beyond wool batting. Pin the folded edges together and use a straight stitch to sew them shut. Use your sewing machine for this step to speed up the process.
