Photos and instructions for making these decorative chair covers have been emailed to us by Marcia Daniels. Marcia, thank you! This is a very interesting project - noticeable, and utilizing an unusual material. Below you will find a detailed instruction for making chair covers for almost any shape of chair. Be sure to read. And here is a photo of ready chair covers:
Supplies List:

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Make a paper pattern by tracing the shape of the chair back adding a seam allowance on all sides.
2. Using the paper pattern of the chair back, cut a front piece and a back piece from the pre-quilted fabric (see photo #1 - it shows lining, pattern and quilted cover):
3. Embroider design (Heirloom Monograms) in the center of the front piece.
4. Cut optional lining from a matching or contrasting fabric using instructions in #2 above.
5. Sew the two quilted pieces right-sides-together at the top(press seams & clip as needed)
6. Sew the two lining pieces right-sides-together at the top (press seams & clip as needed)
7. Pin the quilted pieces to the lining pieces right-sides-together and stitch all sides leaving an opening at the bottom back piece for turning (see photo # 2):
8. Turn project right-side-out and press seams, and hand-stitch the bottom back opening.
9. Cut four pieces of 15" ribbon and tack one piece to each of the lower sides of the chair cover.
