Eee-gads that's a lotta remotes...I wondered which pattern you'd go with. This is perfect! I love your DH's idea of using the metal rod to keep the mags from sagging.
How long did you make the opposite side, long enough to 'tuck in'? Did you weight the opposite side down at all?
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the nice comments, The entire body finished at 34.5 inches, but I just eyeballed the yard of fabric and then measured the length of the arm of the chair from front to back. It finished at about 12.5 inches wide. I looked at all the wonderful sites with free patterns that every one on her gave me and combined them to suit my purposes. The only thing I would do different is make the pockets about 1/2 inches wider to compensate for the width of the remotes and it is a little tighter fit than I had intended. I did make a little pleat at the bottom for that purpose. I after I had quilted the front to the headliner foam I use for the back, I draped it over the arm and estimated how much I needed to tuck in, or tack to the underframe of the chair if needed (which I didn't). After I put the pockets on, I just used premade double wide bias tape to bind it.
