    Default Couch protecter with bolster

    I want to make a couch\chair protecter with a bolster and am wondering if there is a pattern or tutorial that anyone can point me towards? Thanks in advance

    Is the bolster connected to the chair cover or separate?

    A bolster would be a tube of fabric with circles sewn on the end. Are you planning on piping? I like to mark the seam allowance and stitch a row of stay stitching first. Then cut with small slits. It's easy to plan out on paper. Write the measurements and add in the seam allowance on each end.

    When you sew curves try to pull the fabric so it is almost straight going into the needle plate.

    Double welt cording isn't hard either. Here is the one I use.
