Patterns and mercies
Start building the pattern with the removal of the measure. This is done with the help of a flexible Portnovsky meter.
Measure:
- The width of the back and its length:
- width of seating and its length;
- The desired length of the future cover, ranging from the seating of the chair and from the back.

If it is planned to sewing a cover, a fully closing leg, the distance from the seating to the floor is measured. From him is necessarily going on at least 1 cm, otherwise the chair will be inconvenient. The lower part of the cover will quickly get dirty and break, and also interfere with moving the chair. In addition, it is necessary to determine the dimensions of the decorative elements: Ryush, pockets, folds, etc.
After the measurements, you can proceed to the construction of the pattern. For separate and whole models, the principle of construction will be the same. The difference is that for whole covers, parts for the back and seating are connected, for separate - no. We start building from patterns for seating. On paper for the previously shot, draw the shape, repeating the seat of the chair.

On each side, we add 1-1.5 cm on the seams. Similarly, we build a detail for the backrest and also add allowances to the seams. Do not forget to add the length of the skirt if it is. If it is assumed that the legs of the chair will be covered with a skirt, you need to build a pattern and for it. Determine the width of the part. Usually, folds or assemblies are laid on the skirt. With this in mind, we calculate the length in this way.

Calculate the total length of the three sides of the seating and add an assembly allowance to it. Its minimal value is half the length of the ruff. As a result, it will be easy assembly. Other options are possible. For example, you can put the fold on the tissue, then deploy it and measure it. Then multiply the resulting length on the desired amount of folds. This will be the desired allowance for folds.

Cutting
Cooking fabric to clarity. For this, it will be necessary to need material for the top of the cover, for some models, a lining is necessary. If the composition of the tissue is more than half occupied natural fibers or if its weave loose and loose, there is a danger of a significant shrinkage. Therefore, a decision is necessary. This is a wet-thermal processing, during which a natural shrinkage of the material occurs.

Cotton and linen fabrics can be wetted in warm water, dry and rejuvenate. More dense materials moisturize and iron. In the thus prepared tissue lay out patterns. It is very important to take into account the direction of the share thread. Details lay down along its direction. If this requirement is not respected, the cut can be deformed in the sewing or operation process.

The direction of the picture is taken into account if it is. Patterns are laid out on the fabric, if necessary, pinned with pins and deposition. It is important not to forget about the allowances on the seam if the patterns are made without them. Details are neatly cut, after which you can start sewing. If there is no confidence that the patterns are made correctly, you can sew a "trial" case from old bed linen or inexpensive fabric.
