Fold the white and red fabric in half. then trace a circle around the fabric, ending up with two red semi circles and two white semicircles. If you somehow ended up with a fold, make sure to cut the semi circles apart.
Using a zigzag stitch, create a flat seam the red and white semicircle together. This doesn't need to be fancy, it's just temporary to keep them together.
Out of the black fabric create two strips, one with a circle in the middle. One will be the front of the pillow, the other the back
Cut a smaller white circle to go in the center of the front black stripe. Before you attach it, trace an even smaller circle on the white circle. Using a small black stitch, stitch over the tracing.
Applique the white circle onto the black circle using a small zigzag stitch. You can then applique the black stripe onto the white and red front. Repeat with the back stripe
Measure the arc length of the white and red parts of the front and back of the pillow. Cut a strip of white and red fabric of this length and whatever width you want the pillow to be. Sew each red end to the white end. Applique black squares over the seams which are the same width as the black stripes used on the front and back.
With right sides together, attach the side panels to the front, matching edge. Snip the seam allowence to make for a better curve. Sew the side panel to the back side, but make sure to leave a little room so you can turn the pillow right side out.
The end result, before being turned out should look like this picture, a front and back with a side panel.
Stuff the pillow with shredded foam. You can use regular stuffing too. Be careful with the shredded foam because it gets everywhere! Use tape or a lint remover to remove excess stuffing.
Hand sew the opening which you left and you are finished!!
