Step-by-step instruction

1. Before you make chair-bags with your own hands, make a cut. On the pattern, ¼ of the piece is curved. It must be transferred to a folded four-fold large piece of paper. From point 1 to point 2, postpone 20 centimeters, and from point 1 to point 3 - 50 centimeters. You can use the millimeter paper and transfer the pattern to the fabric proportionally.
2. Dissolve the fabric. To do this, place a pattern on the fabric, fix it with sewing pins and circle with a pencil. Add allowances for seams - 1-1.5 cm. For the outer part, add 1-1.5 centimeters more - the cover must be slightly larger than the inner one. Repeat the same procedure for the second chair. You should get two sets, in each - 6 parts for both cases.
3. Take two parts of the inner cover. Then fold them with their faces, fix them with pins and sew. Attach another detail. When you sew the last, the sixth, do not sew up to the edge of 10-15 centimeters. Through this gap will fill the filler. Similarly, do with the inner cover of the second seat-bag.
4. Put the front side of one part of the outer cover on the other. Pins with pins, stitch them. Add one piece at a time. The last, the sixth, do not prick to the first, until you light the zipper. Lightning is better located at the top edge. Then shred details from the zipper to the bottom edge. Do not forget to lay finishing stitches along the sewn zipper. Lightning can be replaced with buttons or Velcro tape.
5. Turn out the bottom cover and fill 2/3 of its volume with balls. Manually secure a breach. Repeat the same with the second seat-bag.
6. Turn out the outer cover, pull it onto the inner, filled with balls, and zip. It remains to do the same with the second chair. Everything, soft seat-bags are ready.
