Around the perimeter make the hem about 2 cm and prostrochite and zautyuzhte. Baste to wrong side and pristrochite fringe. It can be either around the perimeter or only along the length.

Useful advice

You can sew the same capes and chairs, and even chairs. If the sofa cushions, along with the Cape, you can sew covers for the pillows. If the pillow is thin, then cut out the rectangle. Its width equal to the width of the cushion and the length is 2 times longer, plus allowances for seams. Fold the rectangle in half across the width, sew the side seams. Remove, vsheyte in the unsewn side of the zipper and insert the pillow. Pattern cover for the large cushion is a 2 rectangle, the length and width of the pillow and tape. The length of the tape corresponds to the perimeter, and width — thickness pillow.

You can go the other way is to stitch on the sofa two covers, for top and for bottom. Cut so that the width of the panels was 1, 5 times the width of the sofa, as the top panel should go to the back, and the lower almost to the floor.
