Selection of material and filler

If you still want to make such furniture for yourself, then first of all you need to take care of the materials.

What can not be used?

At the same time, you should immediately abandon such options:

• coarse calico;
• silk;
• satin.

Important! In the process of operation, they wear out very quickly and lose their attractive appearance, because of which the furniture itself looks unattractive.

Also it is not necessary to use plastic, fire hazardous substances or those materials which, when heated, release harmful substances.

What can I use?

The most suitable materials for creating such furniture are:

• Velor - remotely resembling artificial fur fabric, soft, velvety and pleasant to the touch.
• Flock - a material similar to velor.
• Chenille - a natural fabric with the addition of synthetics.
• Jacquard - a similar fabric to the chenille, as there is added synthetics.
• Artificial suede. Plus this fabric is that it is easy to care for.
• Artificial leather. This material will give a chic look to your furniture.
• Tapestry. This fabric is extremely strong and antistatic, and just beautiful, due to the fact that it can be depicted with the help of threads completely different beautiful pattern. The furniture made of such fabric will give your interior originality.

Fillers

Filler can be used:

• Styrofoam is the best option.
• If you have a repair at home and there is an unnecessary foam, then it can also be used as a filler. Only before that, it should be crumbled into small balls.
• If you are a fan of everything natural, you can use buckwheat husk or hay. But in this case you will have to change the filler every six months or a year, because these materials are subject to moisture and eventually they are compressed

With the material sorted out, now we should proceed directly to the manufacture of frameless furniture with our own hands.

Manufacture of the

chair-bag For sewing frameless furniture with your own hands you will need to purchase a lot of fabric, since we need to sew two bags - one outer and one inner.

Also required:

• 200-300 l filler;
• zippers;
• reinforced sewing thread;
• scissors;
• sewing machine.

Important! You can also prepare stencils, which you can find on special Internet resources.

Work progress:

1. Take the finished patterns and redraw them with chalk on the fabric that you have chosen for your chair.

Important! Always leave allowances for seams - it's somewhere about 1-1.5 cm.

1. Make two blanks - first the inner bag, and then the outer one.
2. We begin the process of sewing our blanks. To do this, you need to sew the wedges with side edges, and then sew up and down while sewing the zipper.
3. After you have made both bags, insert the inner bag into the outer bag and start filling the filler. To do this, you can take either a funnel or an ordinary plastic bottle, or just roll the paper into a tube.
4. We open the bag with the filler and insert the tube there, pasting it with adhesive tape, so that there are no holes through which the filler will fall to the floor. To fall asleep not completely, but approximately 50-70% of the volume.
5. If you want to make the chair stiffer, then pour more. But we do not recommend this.

Important! If you make an armchair from a dense fabric, then it is best to sew special valves in the armchair. This will help the chair to quickly take the shape of the body of the person sitting on it, and will not allow moisture to accumulate in the armchair.

Your soft, comfortable frameless chair-bag is ready! Pleasant and comfortable use.
