Place the right side of your fabric on the shiny side of your waterproof fabric. You should have a border of the cotton fabric on all four sides of the waterproof fabric.
Fold the cotton fabric until it touches the edge of the cotton fabric, or 1”, leaving the corner unfolded. Fold it again until it overlaps the waterproof fabric. Pin in place.
Take the corner of the cotton fabric and fold down at the diagonal.
Fold over sides of the fabric at the corner just like you did in step 2.
When the corners meet, it should look like this image.
Sew a 1/2" seam allowance around all four sides.
Measure and cut four 2” pieces of the hook (2 pieces) and loop (2 pieces) Velcro.
Fold your sandwich wrap, waterproof side up, into a diamond shape as shown, so you have a corner at North, South East and West, OR top, right, bottom and left.
Pin one piece of the loop (fuzzy) velcro at the north/top corner and sew in place.
Do the same with the loop (fuzzy) side of the velcro at the east /right and sew in place.
Do the same with the hook (prickly) side of the velcro at the south/bottom and sew in place.
Do the same with the hook (prickly) side of the velcro at the west /left and sew in place.
Flip your sandwich wrap on the diagonal again, waterproof side up. Place your sandwich in the middle of the sandwich wrap. Fold like an envelope and secure closed with the velcro.
