Furniture Refashion: Covering the arms of a chair

They don't make things like they used to. This chair isn't that old, but the fake leather is already peeling off...

What to do? Why, fix it with fabric of course!
Take a couple of lengths of leftover fabric:

Overlock the edges of the fabric inside-out. to create sleeves.

Trim them down because they're too big...

Find out that they're too loose because you didn't taper them at the end.

Install some elastic to pull the ends in.

Try one on for size.

Final product! Snazzy and comfy. I could even cover the whole chair... hmm. We shall see!
