Assembling all of your photos into a single panograph will use a bit of computing power and some special tools, so a good photo editing software is a must. Choose something such as Photoshop or GIMP, which allow multiple layers of photos, easy rotating and transforming, as well as the ability to edit the opacity of your images. You may be able to construct your panograph in a software like Paint or Paint.net, but it will be very difficult. Photoshop is a professional photo editing software, so it works very well but is also quite expensive for casual users. GIMP is a free photo editing software with many of the same capabilities as Photoshop, so it's a great option for making a panograph. Transfer all of the images you captured from your camera onto a folder on your computer. Open your photo-editing software of choice and import all of the photos into a single document. Keep each of the photos on separate layers so that you can move and edit them more easily. In Photoshop, select "Files", "Scripts", and then "Load Files into Stack". This will bring up a window where you can browse for images you want to import. Select OK once all of your images are selected to bring them into a new file. In GIMP, press select "Files" and then "Open as Layers" to select images to import from a file browser. One of the benefits of working digitally is that you can see through the images to line them up perfectly. Select all of the images in your photo editor and change their opacity to be around 50%, so you can just see what's underneath them. Set the layers themselves to be opaque, rather than editing the opacity of the images. The former will only change the way they appear, whereas doing the latter will permanently edit the images themselves. In Photoshop, you can select all of the layers by selecting the first one, then holding down the Shift key as you select the last one. Edit the opacity of the layers by clicking on the "Opacity" drop-down menu and lowering the slider to 50%. In GIMP, you must select each of the layers and edit their opacity individually. One by one, click on each layer and lower its opacity with the toolbar above the "Layers" tab. Importing the photos will have set the size of your canvas to the size of your largest photo. As you're combining the photos, you'll need a much bigger area to work with. Click and drag to expand the corners of the canvas, or adjust the size of the canvas in the image settings. In both Photoshop and GIMP, select "Image" and then "Canvas Size" to increase the canvas size. Make the canvas 3 or 4 times bigger than it is currently. This will give you plenty of room to work with, and you can crop the image once you're done if you want to remove some excess white space. Choose an image to use as a starting point and begin assembling your images like a puzzle. When you find parts of a picture that have the same features in them, rotate, resize, and move the images around until they perfectly overlap. Repeat this process until you have a single image. Depending on how big your panograph is and how many pictures you took, this may take a while. Work slowly and patiently to get the best results. If you run out of space, increase the size of the canvas rather than trying to move the images around. You can always crop the image when you're done. Once your panograph has been assembled at 50% opacity, you can reset the opacity to full to see how it looks. Select all of the layers and turn the opacity back up to 100% to make your images fully opaque. If you like the way your panograph looks when it is slightly transparent, you could leave it like that. Play around with different opacities on different layers until the image looks the way you want it to. With the images at full transparency, the lines between each of the individual pictures might become more obvious. Reduce these or alter their placement by bringing more prominent or interesting images to the front. Move the individual layers around to change the look of your panograph. If you have an object that you want to be a clear focal point, bring an image with that object to the very front of the panograph. This will make clear, distinct lines around it that make it stand out. In both Photoshop and GIMP, you can move layers to the front of the canvas by dragging them towards the top. You can also move layers backward by dragging them closer to the bottom. If you're using a different photo editing software, you may not be able to adjust the positioning of each image once you've set it into place. If you find your panograph looks too crowded, you could try deleting images from it entirely. Find dense spots in the panograph and delete different layers around it. Make sure you don't delete anything that leaves a blank spot in the middle of your picture though! Take a look over the panograph and make any final adjustments you want to make. Flatten all of the layers into a single image, which will make the file size smaller and the image much easier to move around. In Photoshop, select all of the layers, right-click on one, and select "Flatten Image" from the menu that appears. In GIMP, you can right-click anywhere in the "Layers" and select "Flatten Image" from the menu that appears to flatten all of the layers into one. If you want to continue editing your panograph, you can skip this step, although it will make subsequent steps more difficult. Alternately, you could save a copy of the Photoshop or GIMP file somewhere before flattening the image. Select the flattened image in your photo editor and apply any final adjustments to the brightness, contrast, saturation, or anything else you want to edit. Play around with all of the adjustments in your editing software until your panograph looks exactly the way you want it to. In Photoshop, select the layer your panograph is on and go to the"Image" menu in the top bar. From the drop-down menu that appears, choose "Adjustments" and select the parameter you want to edit. A pop-up box will appear to let you adjust the image accordingly. In GIMP, select your panograph layer and go to the "Colors" menu in the top bar. From the drop-down menu that appears, choose the parameter you want to edit and alter it in the pop-up that appears. Once you've perfected your panograph, it's time to export it into a more manageable picture. Save or export the file, as a PNG or something similar to maintain the high quality, to a location on your computer where you can easily find it. In both Photoshop and GIMP, go to the "File" menu in the top bar and choose "Export" from the drop-down menu that appears. Choose a file type such as PNG to maintain the high quality of your image, and press "Export" to save the image to a chosen location.

Summary: Choose a photo editing software to use. Import the photos into your photo-editing software. Set the opacity of each layer to 50%. Increase the size of your canvas. Overlap the images to create a single picture. Reset the opacity of the images. Move the layers forward and backward to change the focus. Flatten the pictures into a single image. Apply any final color correction to your panograph. Save and export the finished picture.

Make sure the edges are lined up and pinned before you begin stitching. You are making a mini-version of the main blanket, only without the batting. One side of the rectangle should still be open so you can flip the fabric right-side out. Snip off the corners with scissors. This gives your pocket nice, sharp edges. Again, reach into the opening and use a pencil to push out the corners. Press the fabric with a warm iron, locking the stitches and smoothing out any wrinkles. Fold the open side of the rectangle so its is even with the edge of the rest of the pillow pocket. Use the iron to crease the fold and pin the opening closed. You will be sewing these edges later, when you attach them to the large blanket.
Summary: Fold the 12 yard (0.5m) fabric in half, right sides facing each other, and stitch the long edges of the rectangle together with a 12 inch (1.3cm) seam. Turn the blanket right-side out through the open side of the pillow pocket. Sew a 1/4 inch seam to close the open edge only; do not stitch the way around the pocket.
