How to sew a fashionable bag chair yourself?

Frameless furniture can be safely called one of the ingenious inventions in the furniture world: bright, comfortable, stylish, affordable. The armchair-bag is a bright representative of it. Similar to a large soft toy, it is, at the same time, very light and practical, and will be appropriate even in the children's room. About such an object of the interior can not be accidentally struck; There is no need to exert any effort to move it from one place to another; On it it is possible to change the covers and add the filler as it shrinks; In the end, you can sew it yourself.

Yes exactly. If you make a chair-bag with your own hands, it will cost you two or three times cheaper than the finished bought. In addition, making this thing yourself, you have a greater choice of fabrics, and, therefore, you can sew the chair in full accordance with your interior.

Of course, the first question that arises - what is the bag full of and where to take such a filler? We will answer it immediately: frameless furniture is filled with special polystyrene granules (polystyrene beads). It is quite inexpensive, so before you make a bag chair, you can order it online from companies that are engaged in the production of polystyrene. And we need a lot of this good: an adult chair will take about 300 liters or 0.3 cubic meters of filler. As for the quality of the pellets, use the smallest ones, because the larger the diameter of the balls, the faster they lose shape, and when they land on the product, they make a rustle. It is better not to use cheaper foam filler for filling, as its crushing method is made from old containers, in which, most often, frozen fish was stored .

In order to create a chair-bag with your own hands, stock up, besides the filler, with millimeter paper, scissors, two kinds of cloth of 3 m each (one will go to the inner cover, the second, more dense and beautiful - to the outside); Two zippers (40cm - on the inner cover, 100cm - on the outer); Strong synthetic threads. And, of course, there must be a sewing machine. First of all, you need to make a pattern of the chair. It can be found on the Internet or developed independently, and then translated into graph paper or tracing paper.

When the pattern is ready, it must be fastened with pins to the fabric, from which the inner cover will be sewn, as we will make it first, and at the same time we will fill our hand in order to prevent errors on the outside. The fabric should be strong enough, cotton or lining is quite suitable, because the bag chair with your own hands should not quickly wear out. Next, we circle the part and cut it out of the fabric, taking into account the allowances for the seams. When all the elements are cut, we take two wedges, we fold it inward with the front side, we mark on the one side, on top and bottom, 15 cm, and we sew them together, leaving the middle unmade: we sew the zipper into it. Next, using a sewing machine, we fasten the rest of the elements. Now through the open zipper we twist the product and voila: the inner case is ready. By the same principle, we also make external upholstery.

Here are already sewn both covers, which represent the future frameless armchair-bag. How to make it soft? It's very simple: take the inner cover and start pouring the filler into it. To avoid static electricity, use a paper "sovochkom": fold from a sheet of paper or other heavy paper kulechek, like those that grub grandmothers selling seeds. Children are better not allowed to this process and temporarily isolated from the room where you fill the chair, because the polystyrene granules are very small and can easily get into the respiratory tract.

Filling the seat of the bag with your own hands, you do not need to stuff it to the point of failure: 2/3 of the total volume is sufficient, otherwise Archimedes' law will not work (balls will have nowhere to be forced out when you sit on it), and you risk sitting on a large volumetric toy You will fall like a ball. Now that the inner case is full, zip it up. On the resulting bag, pull the outer cover and also fasten it. All, you can try out your new chair, which now is unlikely to want to get down, because it's so convenient!
