Step 6Sew the sofa!

- sew the three big 3x8 rectangles together along their long edges. ie: make a 8 foot long x 9 foot wide sheet, then fold the sheet in half and sew its 8' edges to make a tube (do it inside-out). when you are done you'll have a 8 foot long tube with open ends.

- go over all seams twice for strength.

- keep the tube inside-out

- sew on one of the end-cap circles (also inside-out). remember the circle circumference is a teeny bit larger (9.4 feet) than the tube circumference (9 feet). if you are a perfectionist that means you'd actually want your circle to be about 2.9 feet diameter, not 3 feet diameter.

- sew on the other end-cap circle, inside-out.
