How to make a chair with your own hands?

At times we want to add to our interior original accessories, non-standard pieces of furniture or funny trinkets. But there is not always a financial opportunity to acquire such desired items. For example, a frameless armchair in the form of a sack or a drop has gained considerable popularity recently. If you also dream about it - our master class will tell you how to make a chair-bag with your own hands.

How to sew a chair-bag with your own hands?

1. We prepare materials . If you decide to make a soft armchair with your own hands, first of all you will need to sew a pair of covers. The fabrication of the inner cover requires a 2.5 m long fabric (width - 1.5 m), on the outer cover - about 2.6-2.7 m (with the same width). The material is better to choose strong from natural fabrics, the outer cover should fit under the interior of the room and not slide.

Also we will use: sewing machine , paper for patterning, thread, scissors, chalk, ruler, compasses, two zippers (0,5 m and 1 m), filler. As a filler, we take polystyrene granules (volume 200-300 liters).

2. We make a paper pattern . We transfer the proposed pattern below to our paper and with the help of scissors we cut out all the paper parts.
3. We cut out the cover . Paper patterns are transferred to the fabric and we cut the material into details: six wedges, four parts for the bottom (two each) and one detail of the top.
4. Sew the cover . Fold the two wedges with the wrong side outward and sew, leaving the allowance to 1-1.5 cm. Similarly we do the rest with the wedges. After that, sew a zipper of a shorter length. We turn the workpiece to the front side and do a delay, taking the allowances. Next, sew the remaining parts of the bottom and top of the bag. We turn out the finished cover and iron it.

The upper cover is sewn completely identical to the inner one.

5. We fill the inner cover . For convenient filling of the inner cover we take a plastic bottle, cut off its bottom and neck. Then we put the bottle in a bag with polystyrene beads and fix it to her. On the other side of the bottle we dress the inner case and fix it with a lightning bolt. Pour the polystyrene into the cover for two thirds and carefully close it.
6. We collect a chair-bag . The outer cover is worn on top of the cover with a filler and fastened with a zipper. To connect the upper part of the covers, you can apply a velcro between them. That's so easy we made a home-made pear-chair with our own hands.
