Default arrrrrrrrggghhhhhh.....help with lofting, please!!

I tried searching help within the Ted boarmans tutorials in here, but i didnt find this particular issue (or i missed it)

Im trying to loft a shape along a curved path, the problem is that the lofted shape is lofting "outside" de path.

Let me explain it, im doing a curved "sofa", if you see the "top" viewport it should have a "C" shape, so i draw a line, in the top viewport, that describes the "C" curve (path), and then i draw the shape of the sofa, imagine an L type of shape, when i loft this shape on the "C" curved path, it lofts the shape on the outside of the curve, but i wanted exactly the opposite, in the inside of the curve, i have no idea how to fix it, already messed with pivot points and the reference coordinate system, but i cant get it to loft the way i want, am i missing somthing?...please help.

thanks.
