How to sew chair

Emergence of frameless furniture has significantly changed the image of modern apartments. The chairs bags seeming shapeless are very convenient, and everyone who has at least once sat in such chair, by all means will want same. To make similar chair, the minimum of tools, materials and abilities is necessary.

It is required to you

  • * Ruler, sartorial meter;
  • * Compasses;
  • * Scissors;
  • * Pencil, piece of chalk for fabric;
  • * Paper for pattern;
  • * Sewing machine;
  • * Needles, threads;
  • * Lightning length, not less than 50 cm;
  • * Polystyrine balls for filling of chair;
  • * Material for internal cover 5 m (sateen);
  • * Material for removable cover (any furniture fabric) of 5 m.

Instruction

1. The first question which at you has for certain arisen: "Where to take filler?". It together with fabric for covers can be found in furniture salons or in the construction markets. Usually expanded polystyrene is sold by cubic meters. One cubic meter will be enough for you not for 1 chair. Material for internal cover which you will fill filler has to be not lasting, for example sateen. For external cover you can choose any material, you can even make several covers to change them on mood, but it is better if material of which the chair will be made is combined with finishing of your house interior.

2. We suggest you to sew the simplest chair bag called "pear" 1 meter high which pattern consists of one wedge and two hexagons. This pattern the simplest and convenient – to hexagons is much easier to sew wedges, than to circles.

3. We build pattern. At first construct 2 hexagons. One party in 30 cm, another – 15 cm. At the seeming complexity, hexagons can be drawn easily. For this purpose at first draw circles whose radius equals to length of the parties, that is 30 cm and 15 respectively. Then from any any point on circle note the same compasses radius length on circle. From this point note once again diameter. So at you to turn out 6 notches which will need to be connected straight lines. Draw wedge, according to the drawing. All sizes approximate, the main thing that the top and bottom side were length equal to edges of hexagons, and wedge height – 1 m.

4. Transfer of pattern on fabric. For each cover you need about 6 wedges and on 2 different hexagons. Having marked fabric, cut out parts with allowances for seams of 1.5-2 cm.

5. Assembly of parts. Begin to sew external cover with seam on which there will be lightning. It has to be sideways. At first put 2 wedges the person to each other, plan where there will be lightning, apply it and sweep away parts with the lightning. Then stitch seams on the machine double stitch that they have turned out strong. Do not forget to remove nametochny seam. Now the turned-out seams need to be razutyuzhit. All subsequent seams are sewn similar to the first, difference only that in them there is no lightning. Do not stitch the last seam, you will not make decorative seams from face side yet, having receded from the main seam of 1 cm. Only after that you can sew the 1 and 6 part together. Then the top hexagon is sewn to wedges, lower is unzipped and sewn. Do not forget to make also on the seams connecting wedges to top and bottom decorative stitching.

6. The internal cover is sewed similarly, but instead of lightning leave opening through which you will fill cover with expanded polystyrene. Do not fill it completely, otherwise the chair will not be able to take the form of your body. 2/3 volumes are enough. As expanded polystyrene is very much magnetized to everything that has static electricity, be ready that in balls of polystyrene there will be all room. Therefore it is necessary to pour filler very carefully. It was necessary only to put on the top cover lower and the cozy chair pear is ready.
