How to make seat - bag with his hands.Master Class

The soft chair-bag is a rather comfortable, light and transformable detail of the home interior. With the right choice of upholstery can also become an excellent element of decor. To acquire such charm is simpler-simple in many outlets, there would be a desire. But you can "figure out" such a pear-chair with your own hands. It's much more interesting! In addition, there is room for the use of fantasy.

Construction of a bag-chair

So, for starters, what is a chair-bag( ball-chair, chair-pear, frameless chair).In fact, its design is elementary:

• An inner bag on a zipper( 30-40cm).
• The outer case is on the same fastener, but longer, for convenience( about 100 cm).
• Filler for the seat-bag. These can be granules of styrofoam or polystyrene. The second is preferable, due to the increased stability of the surface of the granules to crushing. Foam plastic filling will "settle" over time. Carrying handle( optional).

Well, now, directly, about how to make a chair-bag.

What is necessary to do the job?

Before you sew a bag chair, get a cloth and filler. Prepare the necessary accessories and tools.

1. The material from which the inner bag will be made. It should be soft and let in air. An old duvet cover fits perfectly.
2. Fabric, for cutting out the outer sheath. This material should be durable and pleasant to the eye( something like a sofa cover or tapestry).Remember that the outer part of this design you will have to watch most of the day. Therefore: durable and beautiful!
3. Filler( granules of polyester).The bag should be filled in 2/3 of the volume, so that the product was not empty, but not overcrowded. To do this, you will need 3-4 packets of polystyrene filler, 0.1 m 3 each.
4. Two zippers.
5. Cutting pattern. Well, not necessarily a tracing paper, any large paper( you can adapt posters or the remains of wallpaper).
6. Scissors.
7. Sewing machine. Manually this product is long and inconvenient to sew.
8. Threads, needles, pins, chalk or soap for marking, etc.

How to make a chair-bag, you will learn from the instructions below.

Instructions for sewing a frameless bag chair

1. Pattern. Patterns are different, depending on the expected result( shape of the chair).The most standard variant is shown in the figure below. Transfer all parts of the pattern that you see on the image to the tracing paper, keeping the specified dimensions or their ratio. Dimensions can be other. But, it is necessary to clearly imagine what the bag-seat will look like in the assembled form, the pattern of which will be changed.
2. Cut out all the details.
3. Place the pattern details on the canvas to cut out the outer shell of the chair and secure with pins. Keep in mind that the figure shows only half of the main part. Ie, the fabric must be folded in half and place the part on it so that side a coincides with the fold. Then, by cutting and unfolding the part, you get a full main part of the chair( or rather, its workpiece).The upper and lower parts are needed in a single copy, in the form shown in the figure.
4. Circle all parts around the contour.
5. Cut out the pieces, leaving 2 cm for the allowances for the sweep.
6. Sweep the main part with the bottom. Straighten the main seam, focusing on the outline.
7. Sweep and attach the upper part to the main part, making an indent for sewing the zipper.
8. Sew a zipper.
9. Treat all seams with a suture seam with an overlock so that the fabric does not slip over the edge.
10. Repeat all these manipulations with the material for the inner bag.
11. Insert the inner bag into the outer cover. Two bags are provided so that the upper part can be removed from time to time for washing.
12. Fill the cavity of the chair with polystyrene beads. By the way, this is not the simplest part of the problem, becauseballs are completely uncontrollable, get enough sleep, roll under furniture, stick to your hands. Search and collect them after such an operation will take a long time, since they get enough sleep past the bag. What to advise? Do not rush, cut a small angle on the package with polystyrene so that you can control the process of precipitation of granules. Slightly open the zippers on the bags and insert the cut off corner of the bag with the filler into the resulting gap. Now, closing the buckle slightly and holding it with your hand so that the bag does not slip out of the bag, cover with polystyrene.
13. Fasten the fasteners.

If desired, such a soft chair can be equipped with a carrying handle. Such a handle is made of two rectangular strips of fabric that are sewn on long sides. Then the part is turned out. The short sides are stitched into the main seam of the workpiece for the chair in its upper part.

Ah! Another: the external and internal parts of the chair can be fastened together with the help of velcro tapes, sewing their different parts into bags and connecting them.
Well, it seems like everything. Now you should easily master this task. Good luck to you!
Sewing such a wonderful frameless chair, you will get universal furniture. On it you can sit, lie, jump, fool around. In the armchair-pear you can sleep, work on the computer, watch TV and much, much more.

By the way, in the nursery, for example, there are few such seats. All friends of your ringleaders will be accommodated with comfort on multi-colored pear-chairs, which can play a role as a puff, as well as beds or pillows.
Such nice furniture is suitable for rest and will become just a find for a teenage girl's party.
