Materials and tools for work

The amount of fabric and filling depends on the size of the bean bag. We will proceed from the average size of a chair for an adult. In this case, we need:

  1. Millimeter for patterns (patterns).
  2. Fabric for the inner cover - 3.5 running meters with a width of 150 cm. It is best to take coarse calico, teak, satin white color. Other colors and patterns will show through the second case.
  3. The fabric for the removable cover is 3.6 m with a width of 150 cm. The proportions are slightly larger so that the bag of pellets fits into the outer pillowcase without problems. The choice of fabric must be taken seriously. The material must be durable, high quality, pleasant to the touch. The color of the outer cover is selected so that the chair does not knock out of general style environment. Those who immediately want to sew a pear chair with their own hands and several removable pillowcases for it do the right thing. Then the bean-bag becomes interesting and every time a new design element of the room.
  4. Two zippers for covers: for an inner bag 40 cm long, for an outer bag 60 cm long.
  5. Foamed foam (crumb fraction 3-5 mm) - 0.25 cubic meters. You can order it on the Internet or the nearest construction center. The filler is sold in bags of at least half a cube. Delivery will have to be ordered, because. with such luggage you will not be allowed on any tram.
  6. Sewing machine.
  7. Ruler, pencil, honed piece of chalk or soap (draw on fabric).

Pattern preparation

Our bean bag will consist of six identical wedges, top and bottom. Using the presented diagram, draw a pattern of one wedge on graph paper. It is better to immediately make full-size patterns, without wasting time counting the sides in millimeters and then drawing the details in an enlarged form. In fact, we sew a simple bag. wedge height in extreme points it should be 120 cm, width - 45 cm. The top of the chair is a hexagon 21 cm high and 18.2 cm wide.

Patterns for pear chair

The pattern of the top is done like this. Fold a sheet of graph paper in half and mark half of the drawing on one side. After checking the dimensions again, cut out the pattern without unfolding the sheet. Get a symmetrical hexagon.

The drawing shows two parts of the base. In fact, there are four of them (two more similar parts are performed in a mirror ratio to the first two to get an oval bottom). The detail is deliberately divided into two semicircles and two rounded stripes. If you cut them out of the remnants, material savings will be evident.

Cutting fabric

We spread the material for the inner cover on the floor, wrong side up. Applying patterns to it, we calculate the most best option cutting to get the most out of the fabric. Now you can translate drawings. If one person works, the wedge pattern will need to be pinned to the material six times in turn. Each time, the pattern is circled with a margin of 1 cm from all sides and the finished part is cut out.

Economical use of fabric for a pear chair

If cutting is carried out by two, then everything is much simpler. One firmly holds the stencil, the other circles. It turns out not an example faster. The bottom and top of the bag are cut in the same way. Having tailored the inner cover, we repeat the same operations with the fabric for the outer bag.

Tailoring of covers

Despite the apparent complexity, in fact, there is nothing easier than making a pear chair with your own hands. Let's look at the order of stitching parts.

Step 1. We sew the cut pieces of the inner cover, starting from the base. We sweep the details of the bottom to each other, achieving complete symmetry. We sew the swept seams on a typewriter and smooth it with an iron.

Step 2. We connect all six wedges together, while the right sides are inward. Stitch the side seams, stepping back from the edge of the same spare centimeter that you grabbed when circling the stencil (allowance). Iron all seam allowances to one side. Last stitch turning a strip of connected wedges into a bag, don't do it yet. Turn the cover over and topstitch all the seams again on the right side, capturing the ironed allowances. double seam provides the product with additional strength. Now we fold the extreme wedges and sew 40 cm from the top and bottom. We turn the workpiece on right side. The height of the wedge is 120 cm. Thus, another 40 cm remains for the zipper. We sew the lock by placing a special foot. It turns out a kind of pipe with lightning, tapering to the top.

Step 3. Turn the semi-finished product inside out again (the stitching of parts always occurs from the inside out, excluding fittings and trim). We take the cut out hexagonal top and tack it to the top of our pipe, connecting the tops of the hexagon with the side seams. Do not fasten the zipper so that you can always stick your hand inside the bag and pull something, correct it, etc. while sewing. Attach the top. All basting threads must be pulled out after finishing stitching.

Step 4. We fasten the base to the bottom of the cover, combining it with the wedges with all possible accuracy. We clean up. We turn the finished inner cover on the right side. We sew the details of the outer bag in exactly the same way. Opening the zipper, insert the inner cover into it. The question of how to make a pear chair is practically solved.

Step 5. Now we take plastic bottle and cut off both ends. It turns out a wide tube. We cut off a corner from the bag with granulated polystyrene and glue our tube instead of it (with adhesive tape). We lower its other end into the inner case (of course, having previously opened the zipper on it). Sprinkle granules. We close the zippers on the covers.

Necessary tools and materials

Before you make a bag chair with your own hands at home, you need to prepare raw materials and equipment.

Useful for work:

  • fabric base;
  • 2-3 zippers;
  • filler;
  • tailor's scissors;
  • millimeter paper;
  • pencil;
  • ruler or tape measure;
  • strong threads for sewing;
  • sewing machine.

The choice of material for the cover

For the outer cover, a durable, wear-resistant, dirt-resistant, waterproof, eye-pleasing fabric is purchased. In accordance with the design of the premises and functional purpose products (for home, summer cottages, gazebos) choose:

  1. Oxford;
  2. flock;
  3. thermo jacquard;
  4. scotchguard;
  5. microvelveteen;
  6. eco-leather, etc.

Oxford is a synthetic raw material, covered with polyurethane on the wrong side to protect it from dust and dirt. The composition is durable, waterproof, elastic, resistant to temperature changes, represented by a wide palette of colors. The fabric is practical, budget, does not require ironing, it is easy to wash, clean with a damp sponge.

The outer cover for the chair is made of thermo jacquard. The material is durable, distinguished by original combinations of shades, the use of ornaments. Heat treatment technology involves applying paint to the finished fabric. Raw materials are hypoallergenic, because. contains up to 65% cotton. Only suitable for interior spaces and gazebos.

Velor has a velvety surface, is durable, retains its shape, wear-resistant, does not wrinkle. The material is made from natural raw materials or synthetic.

Flock combines raw cotton and polyester. The material is durable, high quality, with a smooth texture, easy to clean.

Microfiber is composed of polyester and polyamide, breathable, wear-resistant, impact-resistant chemical substances, aesthetic, easy to care for and wash.

Microvelvet is suitable for using the chair at home. The material is of high quality, available in plain or with a graphic ornament. The fabric is made from cotton and elastane.

Artificial suede refers to furniture fabrics, made from polyamide fiber, is resistant to abrasion, color fastness, easy care, a wide palette of shades.

Eco-leather is a dense wear-resistant material, retains the surface structure, is optimal for modern design. In the creation of raw materials, cotton and polyurethane are used (as a protective coating).

It is possible to use improvised materials. For country house optimal bean bag chair from old jeans, raincoat fabric.

The fabric for the inner cover must be strong, with a dense section of threads, breathable. Optimum spunbond, coarse calico, satin, polyester, etc.

Filler selection secrets

Before filling the bean bag, it is important to determine the composition of the raw materials for a product that fits perfectly into the interior. The service life and functionality of the furniture depend on the quality of the filler.

To create the internal volume of the product, apply:

  • expanded polystyrene;
  • Styrofoam;
  • holofiber;
  • shavings, woolen threads;
  • different types of cereals (buckwheat, rice);
  • dried herbs, etc.

Expanded polystyrene is produced in the form of circles, the material is practical, hygienic, does not retain odors, has thermal insulation qualities, is non-hygroscopic, affordable, hypoallergenic, does not absorb moisture. When choosing, experts recommend primary processing granules (differ round shape, produced from the foaming of polystyrene). The granules of the second stage of production are not symmetrical, quickly become unusable, shrink.

Polypropylene granules are durable, strong, allow the chair to keep its shape, and have shock-absorbing qualities. However, it is necessary to take into account the low resistance to fire.

Foam polyurethane elastic, hypoallergenic, retains its shape. The granules of the material are dense, therefore they are used in chairs sheathed in artificial leather, jacquard.

Styrofoam for stuffing is produced in the form of small balls. The material is light, budgetary, has a slight shrinkage, comfortable, soft texture, density. The shape of the foam balls is retained for a long time, but with prolonged use, the rigidity of the composition increases. It is recommended to add foam rubber or holofiber to the material.

Hollofiber particles are added to the fillers as a softening additive. The material is hypoallergenic, breathable and does not absorb moisture. Granule sizes different formulations must match in size.

What is filled with an easy chair depends on the operating conditions. It is important to consider compliance temperature regime and humidity. When using natural raw materials (cereals, sawdust, grass, etc.), it is necessary to maintain warm temperature, avoid moisture, as raw materials can be damaged by mold.

How much filler is needed depends on the dimensions of the bag and the weight of the citizens who will use the piece of furniture. Many materials are sold in packs of 100 kg. About 400 liters of raw materials are needed to fill a chair with a size of 120 * 90 cm. During operation, it is necessary to add 40-50 liters in 2-3 weeks.

Master class on making a soft bag

Before sewing a bag chair with your own hands, you need to determine the dimensions, model configuration, and prepare a drawing.

The stages of product manufacturing also include:

  1. cutting elements;
  2. fitting of parts, sweeping;
  3. chair tailoring;
  4. ironing;
  5. filling covers.

Creating a pattern

The pattern for the chair is created taking into account the size, model of the piece of furniture. Are used standard schemes or developed copyright. You can make a pattern for the customer. Patterns are made taking into account seam allowances in accordance with the proportions.

Required:

  • the main part that combines the front, back, sidewalls;
  • top part;
  • bottom.

Enlarged elements are transferred to a sheet of special paper (millimetric), cut out, laid out on a fabric base. It is recommended to place templates with dimensions on the fabric economically, taking into account the direction of the fabric section. Experienced craftsmen can make a bean bag chair according to a pattern on a finished fabric basis.

Cover tailoring

After cutting the details, we sew covers. 2 pear-shaped blanks are created. The parts are connected with pins, then it is necessary to sweep the seams of the sidewalls. Sew the elements manually or on sewing machine. Parts of the structure are then smoothed with a steam iron.

Side seams are sewn on the main cover, edge wedges and connecting seams are folded and overcast. It is necessary to allocate about 40-50 cm for adding a zipper.

The inner cover is sewn in stages, up to 35 cm must be left under the zipper. The seams are ironed, treated with an overlock. Zippers are inserted into the segments, they are swept, adjusted, stitched on a sewing machine. It is necessary to make a handle that is attached to the long edge, ironed.

The blanks of the covers must be turned out on the front surface, smoothed. The top element is tucked into the bag and sewn on. The bottom is sewn into the covers. After work, the product is ironed.

Backfill filler

Before pouring the filler into the chair, you need to calculate the volume of raw materials. A package of at least 500 liters is required. The model has a fabric sleeve (width and height of 50 cm), closed with a zipper or an additional cover.

An open bag with raw materials is placed in the hole, carefully stuff the bag. The granules are light in weight, so the work is recommended to be performed by 2 people. An important point is a strong electrification of the material, requiring moistening of the granules with water from a spray bottle.

With a narrow opening in upholstered furniture it is necessary to use a bottle made of plastic with a narrowed part. The neck and bottom of the dishes are cut off. edge plastic container lowered into a bag with granular material, fixed with a fishing line. The other edge of the dishes must be lowered into the chair cover, secured with tape or rope, then pour the granules.

Finished product care

When cleaning the fabric easy chair it is important to consider the processing method:

  • cotton-based materials must be washed;
  • dense compositions (eco-leather, suede) are processed with a moistened cloth;
  • the chair and cover made of flock are recommended to be cleaned with a dry method;
  • when choosing the temperature mode of washing (cool, warm), the type of fabric base is taken into account.

The design of the furniture has no shape, therefore, over time, it loses volume (the granules are deformed, compacted). It is necessary to add new raw materials, mixing with the former. It is forbidden to place the product near heating devices.

DIY bag chair: choice of material

Frameless furniture is subject to the same loads during operation as standard furniture, and possibly to a greater extent. Therefore, before sewing a bag chair, you need to choose the right fabric for it. The material should be durable and pleasant to the touch, and everyone chooses the colors from those available to their liking. In order to sew a bag chair on your own, silk, satin, calico or satin will definitely not work, as they are too thin and fragile and are not intended for this kind of exploitation.

You can use velor for the outer cover, this fabric resembles faux fur, it is soft and fleecy to the touch, velvety and quite durable. The flock looks like it with its properties, which also has water repellency. This fabric is recommended for use by young children, as it is very easy to wash or clean and for a long time does not fade in the sun.

Chenille fabric can be used to sew the bag chair.

If in order to sew a bag chair, you can use fabrics of non-natural origin, then good option is chenille. This fabric has synthetic fibers in the composition, due to this the surface does not form pellets, is easy to care for and, like any furniture fabric, is strong enough. Jacquard is very similar to chenille, which also has a small percentage synthetic fibers. Despite the presence of a loop pile on the front surface, this coating does not unravel if one thread is accidentally hooked and broken. It is recommended to sew a chair from such a fabric, as it is durable and all dirt is easily washed off its surface.

A do-it-yourself bag can be sewn using artificial suede or leather. These materials are not budgetary, but a bag chair made of them will last a long time. Faux suede has pile and is very durable, leather can be embossed and is also very durable. Tapestry can also be used without any limitation in funds, it is a very strong and dense fabric of natural composition, on which various patterns are woven. This type of material has anti-static properties, so it is especially good for sewing a chair filled with Styrofoam balls.

You can fill the chair bag with foam balls.

The fabric that will be used for sewing the inner bag can be any. Mandatory characteristics are breathable properties, since air must freely pass through the structure without preventing it from taking the desired shape. You can not take slippery and too loose fabrics for the inner bag, lining materials used in tailoring will not work. You can take satin, calico or flannel, chintz and cotton are used in 2 additions.

Most often, the fabric sold in rolls has a factory width of 140-150 cm, which is enough to sew a frameless chair without unnecessary seams. A smaller width material is not suitable for every model, and it is not advisable to choose a larger width, since the remains are unsuitable for further use and go to waste.

How to sew a pear chair with appliqué

For work you will need:

  • coarse calico, satin;
  • fabric for the outer cover;
  • 2 zippers;
  • appliqué fabric;
  • filler;
  • threads in color;
  • scissors;
  • tape measure;
  • pencil;
  • pins.

Bag chair pattern.

The pattern needs to be transferred to the fabric, increasing to right size. Most often, the pattern consists of a small lower part, which will serve as the bottom, and 6 wedges for the chair itself. Details are cut out, leaving the necessary allowances for the seams. Before stitching or after it, it is imperative to process the inner edges of the seams. If the fabric is dense and voluminous, it is more convenient to process it in one layer before the cover is sewn. Faux leather, suede and flock do not need this operation, since their edge does not crumble.

In order to sew frameless bag with your own hands, you must first fold and sew all the wedges one by one, small plot at the same time, it must be left unsewn, a lightning is inserted into it. Two seaming wedges are folded with the right sides of the fabric inward and cleaved with pins so that the fabric does not move out and the seams are even. All 6 wedges are sewn in this way, not forgetting the zipper. For a beginner in the sewing business, it can be advised to start with the inner cover, on which the errors are not so critical and practically invisible, and then take on the outer one, which must be sewn flawlessly.

Dimensions for patterns of adult and child seats.

The bottom is sewn on last. The lower, inner cover, which any bag chair has, is sewn in the same way, but it is usually easier to work with it, since its fabric is thin and easier to process. To fill the inner cover with filler, and remove the outer one for washing or cleaning, a zipper is sewn into one of the wedges.

The zipper in both covers must be sewn with special care, checking the strength of the fixation of the slider. An open zipper will create a lot of difficulties with collecting the filler and placing it back into the case. A zipper on the inner cover is necessary, since the filler becomes caked after a while, it is necessary to fill it up so that the chair does not lose its shape. The inner cover for 2/3 of the volume is filled with a special filler, then the zipper is fastened and the outer cover is put on it.

How to sew a rectangular frameless bag with your own hands

To make such an interior item, you will need the following materials:

  • fabric for the inner cover;
  • fabric for the outer cover;
  • threads in tone;
  • 2 zippers;
  • filler;
  • needles;
  • tailor's pins;
  • scissors;
  • pencil;
  • tape measure;
  • square.

Patterns can be drawn on paper and then transferred to the fabric or drawn directly on the fabric. They are cut out, leaving the desired size allowances for the seams.

First of all, in order to sew a chair, you need to connect the bottom and back, while not forgetting to insert a zipper into the seam. After that, the sides and back are sewn together. Front side sewn to the sides last, the seams are processed using an overlock or a zigzag seam on a typewriter. After that, the bag chair is turned inside out.

To sew a chair rectangular shape and to ensure that this shape is maintained during operation, it is necessary to process the seams with a piping or make an additional line along their contour, attaching the seams to the inner contour at a distance of 0.7 cm. Then the filler is poured into the inner case, the zipper is fastened and the outer case is put on.

How to sew a chair bag in the shape of a ball

For work you will need:

  • fabric for the inner cover;
  • fabric for the outer cover of 2 types;

The bag chair can be a highlight of any interior.

Before sewing a chair like this unusual shape, you need to correctly draw up a pattern, which will be several regular polygons. Classic shape The ball is made up of several five- and hexagons, which need 12 and 20 parts, respectively, to sew a chair. The assembly process will be the same as in the previous versions, but before sewing the chair, a lot of patience and perseverance will be required, since all forms must be accurate.

All shapes are transferred to the fabric in the required quantity and cut out, leaving appropriate allowances for the seams. Since these parts are relatively small and have sharp corners, it is recommended that the seams be treated to prevent fraying before the parts are assembled. This does not apply to non-shrinking materials, and the rest are processed using an overlock or a zigzag stitch. Even better - but it takes a lot of time - to process the sections with piping before sewing the chair.

First, the parts are cleaved with pins and only after that they begin to sew together so that there is no displacement in the process and you do not have to redo all the work. Sewing a chair in the shape of a ball is also more difficult because of the lightning, since it usually does not fit in only one face, you have to place it along a curve.

The inner cover should follow the shape of the outer one, but it can be sewn from fabric of the same color. The filler is poured into it, the zipper is fastened, then the outer cover is pulled on top. The question of how to sew a ball-shaped bag chair can be considered resolved.

How to properly fill the filler

Filler frameless furniture- its most important attribute, since the product will keep its shape only when expanded polystyrene balls are placed inside.

Fall asleep like this small balls inside the case is not an easy task, especially when there are so many of them. To complete this work, you need to prepare:

  • filler;
  • paper;
  • a vacuum cleaner.

This may take quite a long time. They make a funnel out of paper, folding it like a bag. The narrow end must be placed in the hole in the inner bag that is open for this. Required amount filler is poured inside, it is most convenient to do this with an assistant, when one person holds the cover and funnel, and the second fills the polystyrene foam balls.

When right amount the filler is placed inside the cover, the funnel is removed and the zipper is fastened. More or less of the pellets will be on the floor, it must be removed with a vacuum cleaner. Especially great care must be taken if there are pets or children in the room, as swallowed pellets can cause many problems. It is better to take the children out of the room while filling, as small balls can easily end up in the ears or nose.
