Instructions:
Measure the widest part of
your chair back. Insert your finger into the loop
that goes around the chair. The space that your
finger adds will give the cover just enough room to slip
onto the chair comfortably.
Tip: If your chair has a
curve at the top, use a piece of tag board and a pencil
to trace the outline of the curve. Use the shape that
you traced to create your pattern piece.

Using the measurement that
you just took (mine was 38"),
divide that number in half then add 1". This will
be the width of your pieces. Determine how deep you want
your cover to be, and add 1". This will be the
height of your cover pieces.
Mine were 20" wide
by 12" high. Mark out the dimensions of the fronts of
the chair covers on your fabric and embroider your
designs on them. The design that we used was
actually sewn twice on each cover, in mirror image to
each other. |

 |
|
Cut out 2 back pieces, the same size as
the front pieces.
On the right
sides of the front pieces, pin a tassel in each corner,
then put the back piece over the top of the front piece
with the right sides together. |
|
 |
|
Sew the top and side seams, making sure
to secure the cord of the tassels in the stitching, but
not sewing the tassel itself.
Stitch a narrow hem along the bottom cut edge. |
|
|
|
|
Turn the cover right side out and stitch
the braided trim along the bottom hemmed edge of the
cover. |
