Place the folded minky strip on the right edge of the vertical rectangle with the edges all of the minky and the cotton lined up and pin every 1/2" - 1" apart.
Next sew a zig zag seam along the pinned minky and cotton edges making sure to sew with the minky on the bottom. A walking foot is helpful, but not necessary for this short project. Since minky is a stretchy fabric, sewing with it on the bottom will allow the feed dogs on the machine to feed it faster than the top cotton layer. A zig zag seam will also help keep the minky from getting a bit wonky with its cotton counter part and reduce the bulk.
