Pear chair do it yourself

The pear armchair is not just a comfortable piece of furniture, but the embodiment of freedom itself. Appeared since the 60s of the last century in Italy, it became a symbol of a new era, a new design and new ideas. Today, a legendary pear chair can do anyone who owns the basic skills of work on the sewing machine.

Features of construction

The very first model of the chair was called SACCO that translated from Italian means "bag". Unfinished conciseness in the title and design brought this find a mad success, which is not weakening for more than 70 years. Having a pear-bag chair wants everyone who is not averse to be in front of the TV or with a book in hand, which means almost all people on the planet! His charm lies not only in the convenience, the pear armchair instantly revitalizes the interior, giving him notes of European freedom.

Any sewing manipulations begin with patterns. The pattern of pear chairs is easy to disgrace, but it is impossible to do without it, especially if you make it for the first time. Before you start creating a scheme, you need to figure out, what is the chair?

Chair-bag design:

• an external case is a removable item that can be dismissed and wrapping;
• internal bag;
• filler;
• clasp.

The principle of creation is very similar to sewing a pillow, consisting of a main part, packed by the down and pillowcase, which can be changed.

Materials for sewing

The fasteners should be on the internal and on the external covers so that at any moment you can change the "trim" or shove the filler.

The inner case is better sewing from dense material, such as canvas or upholstery fabric for furniture. It is better that the fabric is not only tight, but also slippery, so if old synthetic curtains in the closet have a closet, bold them into the case! For external "pillowcases", any decorative fabric will fit, which will fit into the interior.

The adults chair for adults will require an equal amount of dense tissue for the inner case and decorative fabric - for the outer shell. So, with a roll width, 115-120 cm will need 4.6 meters. With a width of 135-150 cm, it is necessary to buy 3.2 meters of fabric. Do not forget to get a lightning 2 pcs. 56 cm each.

As a filler for a pear armchair, polystyrene balls or plastic granules are used. For a large armchair, about 0.5 cubic meters of material will be needed.

The pattern will be done on a millimeter or disclosed paper for pattern.

The children's chair-pear is sewn by the same principle, only materials require much less. So, for the case, 2.7 or 2.3 meters of dense tissue will be required depending on the roll width. Lightning for a small armchair should be 46 cm. The filler will take about 0.3 cubic meters.

Useful advice: For the external Cover of the Child Chair, use a dense non-commercial fabric. If there is an opportunity to sew a case from fine dermatin so that it can be easily cleaned, without removing.

Pattern

Progress:

1. Using the proposed scheme, make a pattern for wedges of the chair on a millimeter. According to the scale, transfer the pattern from the scheme.
   
2. To make the pattern of the top of the armchair, fold the millimeter in half and mark the approximate middle of the fold line. Then draw a conchion with a radius of 11.5 cm for a children's chair and 14 cm - for an adult. You can do this with the help of a ruler and a pencil, putting a pencil by the end of the line rotating it around the central point.
3. To create a pattern of the base of the chair, fold the paper in half, and, as described above, draw a circle with a diameter of 25.5 cm for a children's chair and 30.5 cm - for an adult. Expand the millimeter, make an indent of 1.3 cm from the fold and forth the parallel line. Cut through the line. A smaller part of the circle is a template for the base.
4. Severe 6 wedges for an internal and external cover.
5. Severe tops for covers.
6. Treat the bases for covers.

How to sew chair

When patterns are ready, you can sit down for the sewing machine.

Progress:

1. Start from the base of the chair, connecting the parts of the base with the front parties. Make an indent from the edge of 1.3 cm and sweep the parts. Start 2.5 cm from the edges and scroll the seam.
2. At the central part of the lightning attach to the seam line. For more convenience, they can be glued. With the help of a special leg on the sewing machine, you will take zipper, not reaching 5-6 mm to the teeth. Pull out auxiliary thread.
3. Side wedges Connect the front sides and push, without forgetting to make an indent of 1.3 cm. Connect all 6 clins to make a canvas. The first and last wedges do not sew! Stick all seams on one side.
4. Stop all the seams from the front side, making an indent to 1 cm. Thus, you must capture all the united seams from the inside and fix them so that later the protrusions and tubercles will be formed under the lining. If this is not done, the filler will be clogged under the allowance, and the chair will be uncomfortable.
5. Stop the last seam, go along the top of the chair and take a small nozzle of 1.3 cm.
6. The outlet part for the top of the chair is divided into 6 equal parts (as cutting a cake), connect the intended points with seams connecting the wedges. Ensure that the front side of the upper element coincides with the wedges, and will be 1.3 cm with an indent.
7. Now you need to smooth output on the side parts. In the same way, the principle will take the lower element of the chair (base). To make it more convenient, we open the zipper slightly.
8. When the case is done, pull out the case through the open zipper and shoot all the seams on the front side, retreating 1 cm.
9. The same now needs to be done with a decorative tissue for the second case.

It is necessary to fill the internal case with polystyrene foam balls only when it becomes ready for "trim". Insert the inner case into external and only after that fill it with balls. Close the lightning and enjoy a well-deserved holiday in a comfortable pear chair (photo).

Useful advice

Since polystyrene granules are incredibly lungs, then you should not order their kilograms if you buy material via the Internet. So, the parcel weighing only 10 kg will take the area of \u200b\u200bthe middle passenger car. In this case, you will have to or look for a place to store such a number of polystyrene foams, or to put the chairs of the bags with all your friends.

Be careful during the filling of the inner cover with balls. Close the windows so that there are no winds or busting of the wind, otherwise your entire filler will split around the room.

Make a chair-bag with your own hands easier than it may seem at first glance, and after the first practice you will master the basic principles. In stores such pleasure is expensive, so saving on face. And if you do not know what to give friends to the housewarming, do not come up with a better option!
