Corded Neck Pillow

I took a class to learn how to sew a corded neck pillow. The teacher

was also teaching students in how to make Roman shades. Seems there

was a problem with the Roman shades--some purchased material and

wound up short, etc. Out of 3 hours, I had 5 minutes of instruction

(?). The instructor measured the cording and fabric needed and sent

me to the front of the store, note in hand, to get cording and

fabric. End of lesson! I really liked the instructor and didn't want

to make waves, but I did ask for another session as 5 minutes was

kind of unfair. We set up another class--the instructor measured

again; the amount of cord I purchased for the first session turned

out to be too short. No problem. I purchased another piece according

to her new measurement. The instructor cut the material, explaining

as she was cutting. She also sat at my machine to show me how to

stitch the cording to the material. Oooops, must have measured wrong.

One end of pillow was larger than the other and way tooo much fabric

for pillow. I told her not to worry, I had the hang of it and could

wing it. I couldn't hurt her feelings; she had really worked so hard.

But now, I have returned to my pillow and have all the seams ripped

out, ready to try again. Is there a good link on how to make a neck

pillow that is corded (illustrated)? I have posted a photo of where I

am at with the pillow as of now.
