How to make a sousplat cover without a sewing machine
- Mark the size of your sousplat on the back of the fabric that will be used and cut approximately 6 centimeters more for finishing;
- Make a 3 millimeter bar all the way around the fabric, then turn over another centimeter before starting to sew with thread and needle, as if making a fuxico. Use tape to keep the fold around the circle while you pass the thread;
- Do not close to the end of the circle, leave a space to insert the rubber band with an elastic band or a piece of wire tied to it. Pass the rubber band through to the other end;
- Before you join the two ends of the elastic, dress the MDF piece with the cover, tie a tight knot, and sew to close the remaining space.

- Fold the excess bias and sew. Turn the bias inside out and sew with the needle in the straightest possible position, forming a tunnel through which the elastic will pass;
- With the help of a drawstring, insert the elastic on the inside of the bias, going all the way around the piece. Bring the ends together and tie three tight knots.
