Step 2: Sewing the seat to the inside back

Mark the middle points on the back edge of the seat piece and the bottom of the inside back piece with pins.
Matching the middle points, pin the seat piece to the inside back piece with right sides of the fabric together and raw edges even.
Machine stitch the seat piece to the inside back piece around the three edges with a 1in (25mm) seam. Trim the seam allowance at the two corners so they will sit neatly, and finish the seam edges with a zigzag stitch. Press open.

Step 3: Sewing the seat to the front

Mark the middle point of the front edge of the seat piece and the top edge of the front piece with pins.
Matching the middle points, with right sides of the fabric together and raw edges even, pin together.
Machine stitch the front edge of the seat piece to the top edge of the front piece with a 1in (25mm) seam. Stop short of the edges of the seat side seams and trim the corners.
Trim the seams and press open.

Step 4: Sewing the outside back and sides to the inside piece

With raw edges even and right sides of the fabric together, pin the top edge of the outside back piece to the top edge of the inside back piece of the completed piece so far.
Machine stitch together around the three sides with a 1in (25mm) seam, leaving the front edges of the arms free. Clip the two corners so they will sit neatly.
Trim the seams and press open.
