- stitching the non-woven thermally insulating fill sheet to the first panel of knit or woven material;
- positioning the second panel of knit or woven material such that the non-woven thermally insulating fill sheet is interposed between the first panel of knit or woven material and the second panel of knit or woven material;
- affixing the first panel of knit or woven material directly to the second panel of knit or woven material in one or more areas corresponding to the one or more voided portions in the non-woven thermally insulating fill sheet;
