How to sew a frameless chair. Step-by-step instructions on how to sew a bean bag chair yourself at home using the proposed pattern with dimensions. Selecting material for the case

Since its introduction on the market, frameless upholstered furniture has won a strong place in the interior of residential premises. The most striking representative of this type of furnishing is the bean bag chair. It can also be found in libraries, cinemas and even parks. You won’t be able to get as comfortable on any sofa as you can on this design. An additional advantage of this type of furniture is that sewing a bean bag chair with your own hands will not be difficult.

Beanbag, bean bag, pouf chair – there are many names for a soft frameless chair. There are no fewer varieties of it. It can take a variety of forms:

square or rectangular;
pear shape;
round;
in the form of a flower, some kind of fruit, heart, puck, etc.

The choice of shape depends only on the preferences of the future owner of the chair. The following can be used as filler:

polystyrene foam balls;
beans, peas;
shavings, sawdust, feathers.

It is easy to purchase any of the fillers. The most preferred is polystyrene foam. It does not cause allergies, cannot mold, or attract rodents or insects. For country house It's better to use only it. In addition, a soft ottoman filled with it will turn out to be especially comfortable - it will take a convenient shape for a person sitting or lying on it, and its granules, unlike beans and peas, are not at all hard. It is better to choose small balls, as large ones will quickly wrinkle.

The volume of padding depends on the size of the bean bag chair. A chair for an adult may require from 250 to 350 liters. It is better to purchase 400 liters of polystyrene foam. The remainder will be useful for the future, since during use the material becomes wrinkled and can be replenished about once a year.

The appearance of a hand-made pear chair is determined by the material from which it is made. The fabric can be very different. First of all, it must be durable and practical. It would be better if it could be machine washed. Thanks to the variety of materials, a handmade pouf can fit into any interior. For a laconic, strict style, classic or modern design Bags made from artificial leather, faux fur, velvet, and velor are suitable. For a nursery, you can choose fabric with pictures and bright colors.

Before you begin to study the question of how to make a bean bag chair with your own hands, it is worth deciding on the purpose, shape and dimensions of the structure. The amount of fabric, filler, and other materials that will need to be purchased depends on this.

What will you need for work?

In order to do easy chair do it yourself, you need the following materials:

fabric for lining;
fabric for external decorative cover;
filler;
durable colored threads for sewing;
two zippers for fastening covers;
graph paper for drawings.

The lining fabric of a hand-made bean bag ottoman should be durable, even rough. You can take an old duvet cover or pillowcase that you no longer plan to use (provided that the fabric is intact, without scuffs or holes). The threads and snake for the main cover must be selected in a color that matches the color of the fabric.

Tools you need to prepare:

Sewing machine;
Ruler, pencil;
Scissors.

If you don’t have a sewing machine, and you don’t want to buy one in order to make an ottoman yourself, then you need to prepare a thick needle for sewing, strong threads, and a thimble. In this case, the process will be much longer and more labor-intensive.

The main stages of making a chair

A DIY master class on an upholstered chair can clearly demonstrate how to make an ottoman. You can consider the most popular version of a bean bag chair in the shape of a pear. This design is convenient because it has a kind of back that gently supports the neck and head.

First of all, you need a pattern for a pear chair. It consists of a round or hexagonal base and four or six petals. The combination of elements may be different, but these options are the simplest and most common.

The work begins with preparing the pattern for the bean bag chair. A drawing of all parts of the covers should be made on a 1x1 scale on graph paper. This way you can clearly see how much fabric is needed for a homemade ottoman.

To increase or decrease the dimensions of the future bean bag chair, if those indicated in the pattern are not satisfactory, on paper all measurements of the parts must be changed to the same value in centimeters.

Having drawn the diagram on paper, the parts are cut out and, having secured them with pins on the fabric, they are cut along the contour, leaving an allowance (about 1.5 cm of fabric after the border of the part). When sewing elements, the allowance ensures that the chair does not unravel along the seam.

Then you need to sew the covers by machine or by hand and sew in zippers. A zipper in the inner pouch makes it convenient to fill it with polystyrene foam and add it later. The outer cover has a zipper to remove it for cleaning or washing. The joints of the parts should be machine stitched from the inside out, and for the outer cover, a large seam should be sewn along the front side. The seams should then be smoothed with an iron. You can attach a handle to the chair for easy carrying.

After the covers are ready, you can fill in the filler. If it is polystyrene foam, then this must be done carefully, since it becomes very electrified and does not fall asleep neatly, but scatters throughout the room. You can insert the bag with the material inside the case, cut it and carefully pull it out, holding the edges of the zipper. You can also build from plastic bottle or paper funnel and pour granules through it.

The cover should be filled so that it holds the shape of the pattern, but does not fill it to capacity; there should still be empty space for the most comfortable effect.

At the end, the outer cover is put on the inner cover and the zipper is fastened. A chair made with your own hands at home can be considered ready for use.

Care of the finished product

DIY soft bean bag chair will last a long time if you take care of it. Options for this care depend on the material from which we sew the main cover. Not all fabrics are machine washable. You should know about this in advance. For a nursery, it is better to choose practical fabrics that you don’t have to worry about getting dirty.

The structure filled with foam balls is less whimsical than in the case of other fillers. A chair filled with everything except polystyrene foam requires periodic replacement of the filling due to the following reasons:

Dampness can lead to mold;
Some natural materials, when caked, not only decrease in volume, but form a dense layer that must be removed;
The appearance of insects inside the upholstery will entail replacing the entire filler and special treatment of the covers (it is better to change the inner one).
The polystyrene foam also shrinks over time, but in this case it’s enough just to add a new one, and the ottoman will regain its previous properties.

Having tried a ready-made soft chair for the first time, you can immediately understand whether it was made correctly or not. If the body does not sink to the floor, but lies on the padding and is softly enveloped on all sides, then the proportions are calculated correctly. Errors can be corrected by sewing the cover or adjusting the amount of filling material. A well-made pouf is so comfortable that every family member will probably want to have their own.

Modern furniture, which is offered in numerous furniture stores, has high cost. Not all models are different high quality and long service life, so many people are thinking about the possibility of creating various items on their own. An interesting choice is frameless furniture, which allows you to comfortably and conveniently accommodate all guests in one room. It does not involve any frames or solid objects.

If you decide to make a certain frameless product yourself, then first prepare necessary materials and tools for this work. These include:

Fabric for the inner and outer cover, and in the first case it should be dense and breathable, but for the outer element you can choose different types upholstery fabric;
Reinforced threads with high strength;
Zipper, which can be tractor or spiral;
To work you will need high-quality sewing machine, equipped with needles No. 100, designed for working with dense and heavy fabrics;

Upholstery selection

Upholstery is used to create an outer cover. The most frequently selected fabrics are those that are characterized by high strength, density, and resistance to stains. They can easily withstand various impacts and last a long time. For the manufacture of frameless furniture, it is not advisable to choose silk, satin or calico, as they quickly lose their attractive appearance during use. To create the inner cover, a fabric with high strength and density is selected; for the outer cover, decorative fabrics are used. To create the inner cover, a fabric with high strength and density is selected, but the appearance does not matter, so standard white material is usually purchased.

The most suitable materials for sewing frameless furniture are considered:

Velor is a soft fleecy fabric, pleasant to the touch and pliable to use;
Flock is ideal for furniture installed in a children's room. The material does not fade, is easy to clean and wash;
Chenille is a natural fabric with the addition of synthetic fibers, so the material is highly durable and easy to care for;
Jacquard is also formed using synthetic fibers and has good strength. It is easy to work with and easy to care for afterwards;
Artificial leather – easy to care for, attractive in appearance and highly durable;
Tapestry is a natural fabric in which the interweaving of fibers is easily visible, and to create it, threads of different colors are used, which intertwine to form beautiful patterns.

Special tracing paper with 2.5 or 5 cm cells is prepared;
All future furniture elements are marked on paper, and if a bean bag chair is created, then 4 sidewalls, 2 round parts and segments are created rectangular shape for the handle, if provided;
During work, you must use a ruler, pencil, compass and other writing instruments to ensure the evenness and correctness of the elements;

Once the necessary pattern for a specific frameless furniture has been prepared, the elements are transferred to the fabric. For this, special wax or regular chalk is used. It is advisable to make the bottom double to increase strength. Patterns are transferred with a small seam allowance of 1 to 1.5 cm, if the patterns are made without taking them into account.

What you need to make a bean bag chair

Before making a beanbag chair, you need to prepare the materials.

You need to understand that to create a large-scale product you will need many components:

fabric for creating internal and external covers;
two large zippers for convenient use and maintenance of the chair;
scissors;
threads;
filler;
A sewing machine will simplify the work process, providing a neat seam.

The volume of materials is determined by the desired dimensions of the product.

How to sew a bean bag chair - a step-by-step description of the process

When deciding to make a furniture element yourself, you need to competently approach preparatory work. It is important to make a pattern and calculate the amount of materials for sewing the product. We will look at every point that will help in creating a bean bag chair. There are many types of product design, which will allow you to create a stylish piece of furniture that matches the interior.

Creating a pattern + ready-made diagrams

A bag pattern will help you make a flat chair. You can draw the diagram yourself by calculating the size of the chair. Initially, it is necessary to determine the type of beanbag, and then select the appropriate drawings. Various designs involve different basic components.

The design of a drop chair mainly consists of a common main part (back, side elements), a seating area and the bottom of the product.

A round product, as well as a pear chair, is formed from wedges. Their number is determined by the required seat dimensions. In addition to the side elements, there are two circles for the upper and lower parts of the chair. We must not forget about the allowance for sewing components together.

Filler selection

Expanded polystyrene is most often used as a filler. Round granules make it possible to create a lightweight, comfortable product that will not be susceptible to liquid absorption and will become a breathable, hypoallergenic interior component. The balls do not absorb odors and dust does not settle on them. At the same time, polystyrene foam has excellent thermal insulation.

Over time, foam balls may lose their shape. You can update the chair by adding polystyrene foam.

In addition to it, the following are used in the production of bean bags:

wood shavings;
cereals;
fluff, feathers;
holofiber, synthetic winterizer.

When choosing natural materials it is necessary to take into account allergenicity, the ability to absorb moisture and dust. Hollow fiber, padding polyester, and foam roll off faster. Cereals and shavings do not withstand wet exposure. Down and feather fillings provide a risk of allergies and are not very convenient to use.

Selecting material for the case

There are many options for using fabric for an outer cover. It is desirable that it be dense and easy to clean.

Often the products are made from a material called “Oxford”, which is reminiscent of jacket fabric. Tents are also made from it. The advantage is that it is waterproof.

When choosing a more “cozy” fabric, you can pay attention to dense textiles - flock, chenille, microcorduroy, eco-leather is used. Gabardine, twill, and denim are suitable.

It is advisable to select a material that will not stretch.
Thick spunbond is used for the inner cover. It provides holes for ventilation and does not absorb liquid. But you can also buy regular thick fabric that is still breathable. If there is no air flow, the polystyrene balls will crumple.

Sewing a cover

A pouffe chair is made with your own hands based on a pattern or drawing.

To sew the components of the cover you need:

Transfer the pattern elements onto paper and then cut them out.
On flat surface spread the material to make the inner cover.
Attach the pattern components to the fabric and trace with chalk using an allowance of approximately 2 cm.
Using this method, the elements of the outer cover are created, only the allowance is taken about 4 cm.
Cut, stitch, or pin the gusset pieces.
Sew them on the machine and on the wrong side for the inner cover. Then reinforce the seams with outside for outer bag.
Side seams must be ironed.
We must not forget about the place for the zipper. Leave approximately 40 cm for sewing in the lock on the upper back of the product.
Baste and then stitch the zipper.
Sew the bottom of the product to the workpiece.

It is better to make the outer cover a few centimeters larger than the volume of the inner bag. After filling, the product can be stitched top part beanbag.

Filling with expanded polystyrene is done by pouring elements through the lock. For convenience, you can cut off the sides of a half-liter bottle, place it in a case, and pour in foam balls. The edges of the bag can be sprayed with antistatic agent.
