Alright, this is primarily a decorative touch, but it will also ultimately serve a large function too.

Cut a strip of canvas roughly 4" long x 2" wide. Hold the fabric with the good side facing towards you and fold each end under and then sew it in place. You should be left with two clean looking pieces of nearly identical fabric roughly 1" wide by 3" long (see secondary picture).

Find the center of the 36" nylon strap sewn to the chair. This will be at 18". Center this small piece of fabric on the 18" center line. Sew it across the nylon strap about 5 times. This seam will hold your support bars in place on the chair.

Next sew down each side of the canvas strap following the edge of the nylon strap. When you reach the end, sew back; doubling up the stitch. Be very careful not to sew down the canvas patch over the nylon strapping while doing this (see picture).
