4) Cut a 43cm length of sew-on hook and loop fastener. Tack the loop fastening in place along the right side of one hemmed edge 5mm from the edge, and then tack the hook fastening to the wrong side of the opposite hemmed edge (see illustration). Machine stitch both in place all round and remove tacking.

5) Turn the cover through, press and slip in place over the seat pad. Tuck the loop fastener under and bring the hook fastener over the top to secure. If your seat pad has ties along the back edge or at the back corners, just pull the ties through the opening of the cover and secure the fastener over the ties.
