Arm Shmarms

Good Morning! Arms! For me this was pretty okay spot. Personally for me I would have done the arms before the back where your back leans against. And that would be my first tip for you. Arms then Back.


Okay lets start off with some batting.

Step One: Measure the length from outside of the curved part of the arm to the inside of the of the arm and where you would be stapling the batting down (with a little extra for wiggle room). Then staple the batting to the arm. Add as much as you want. I just added one layer, well two because when I bought my batting it was originally folded in half.

Step Two: Cut out your fabric for the inside of the arms if you haven't already.

Step Three: Staple! Start with the outside of the rolled arm or whatever you have and staple. then the bottom. This is another place I messed up because on my chair their are certain spots where the structure of the chair get in the way of the fabric. So in order to keep everything tight you have to cut around the structure. Well my problem was that I cut too much. And in one spot you can still see the batting. OPPS!

Step Four: Start stapling the front. Work your way from the bottom up. When you get to the top you want to really pay attention to detail on this part. you want you folds to be as perfect as possible.

Step Five: Staple the back.

Step Six: Repeat on other side.

After your done with both side personally for me if you have any extra fabric I would leave it be until you know for sure you don't need it or it get in the way. I only say this because I would cut off too much then realize I need to redo that part but not have enough fabric.

Later tonight I will post the outside of the arms. YAY!
