To begin with, remove any tape that you may have used for holding down the nylon strapping.

Next, sew down the nylon strapping as seen in the diagram below (secondary image). Take note that orange lines should be sewn at least 2-3 times. This isn't to scale, but figure that the top box with an "x" in it should be about half an inch and the part not sewn on the inside of the straps should be about 2 inches.

Be careful not to sew down the one side of the chair that is already finished! You're going to need to obviously put the foam back in that pouch.

When this is done, sew around the inside border of each of the fabric/strap combo. Go over the nylon strap sticking out of the 1 1/4" crease at least 4 or 5 times with your stitching. At this point don't yet sew down the fabric/strap combo to the actual chair fabric. You will do that in a moment.

Now, you are now going to want to measure and pin together the chair fabric and the fabric/strap combo 1" away from the 36" long nylon strap. The square-like shape formed by this line should be sewn 2 - 3 times over (see pictures).

To finish, open up the part of the 36" strap that is not sewn and as best you can, sew down the lower half of the fold (so that the lower piece of nylon is affixed to the chair).
