Required materials:

Put the other rectangle fabrics top of it. Make a sandwich like this. Pin the fabrics including the elastic as well. Then sew them all around the edges. For my project, sew them 1/4 inches seam. Sew them over the elastic to make sure that they are secure.

Clip the corners and turn the match cover right side out. Then stitch the all way around with the 1/8 inches seam measurement.

Before cutting the rectangle shape choose what print you need to chow on the top surface. After making the latch cover. Just put the elastic on the both side of the knob, and the body will cover the latches in the middle.
