Front lapels.

I'm continuing on the front lapels. They are not called that, but I have to find out what each part of a chair is called, but for now the front facing part of the arm I will call it lapels. As on a jacket the front showing part.

 I had started with the right hand one, fixing the wadding to the chair with some dots of glue. Then pinned the top fabric roughly into place. Starting on the outer edge pinning it into it permanent place.  I made little snips in the material so it would lie flat once tucked under, following the contour of the top part of the arm. Pinned down the inner edge of the arm, starting at the top and working all the way down. Stood back and adjusted pins till it looked roughly right.
Next I started to sew the straight outer edge, starting at the bottom, working my way up. I stopped near the top and left the needle and thread just there.
I want both lapels to be the same in appearance so I stuck the wadding onto the arm of the left arm with some dots of glue and repeated the the process.
I am now at the same hight with the sewing as the right one and compared the look. The lower edge across needs to be the same across. Both measuring 10 cm! Nice! By standing back and looking at the chair lapels I can make the shape of the lapels identical, I hope.

Here the right hand lapel is pinned into place and the wadding on the left hand one is glued on.

Here you can see the small stitches, sewing the two parts together.
