Today we will cut the pieces out and start the ruffle bottom.
So, from your main fabric (3 yards)
Cut out all your pieces. Make sure to cut out 2 inside arms and 2 outside arms. The inside arms should be slightly smaller because they will be sewn into the seat.
For the ruffle bottom (1 yard) You need to cut out 4 strips that are 9 X width of fabric. Sew strips end to end.
Finish the bottom edge by either surge the edges and turn over 1/4 inch press, and sew. OR turn 1/4 inch press, turn 1/2 inch press and sew.
To gather the material, I usually have my tension set at 4, but I turn it all the way up. I increase my stitch length as far as it will go.
Then I start sewing.
That's it for today. Tune in tomorrow and we will start sewing the cover together!
