Popular now the chair-bag was invented in 1968 by the Italian designers Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Fraco Theodoro. Their idea was to create a universal seat, easily adaptable to any body shape. So the SACCO model appeared, released by Zanotta and became one of the most outstanding samples of Italian design. We will tell how to repeat to make a similar chair in the form of pear on your own, using the pattern of the chair-bag with the desired dimensions. And also tell me how to sew the seat of another form.

Fabric selection

Before making a bag, you need to choose a suitable fabric from which we will sew it. For an internal cover, it is better to use a sliding - thanks to this, the seat will be easier to take the shape of a person sitting on it. For an external bag, it is better to use dense materials, resistant to abrasion and washing so that they serve as longer as possible.

Creating patterns

After the material is selected, remember the lessons of drawing at school. Take paper, pencil, line and make the pattern. It is easy to find on the Internet, it consists of two hexagons of different quantities (one - for an external cover, another - for internal) and six sidewalls in the form of stretched awards. You still need to not forget to make a pattern for the loop, for which it will be convenient to take our chair. The drawing is gently transferred to paper, after which we cut out our pattern scissors along the contour of the pattern. Since the sidewalls six, this amount is better to immediately cut out of the paper.

Marking and outline contours

We take the material and lay out the resulting pattern so that the sidewings along the length lay along the equity line of the fabric (usually the share thread goes along the edge). We fix the pattern with the help of a pin around the perimeter and outline with chalk contours, leaving the allowances to the seams 1.5-2 cm.

And now it is necessary to have the most difficult - carefully cut the fabric over the outlined circuit. For this you can use tailoring scissors.

So that the edge does not crumble, it is possible to use special scissors "Zig-Zag", which easily cut the canvas and form a beautiful gear edge. This method of processing allows you to do without additional edges.

Stitching edges

Let's start sewing our details first with those edges, where zippers are assumed. On the inner case, we will install a lightning of a small size so that through it it is convenient to fill the filler. To the external cover by sending long zipper: its size should be so that through the resulting hole it was easy to remove the filled bag. You can enjoy lightning in different ways - it all depends on the desired result: to make it visible or invisible. The first way is easier - lightning is simply sewn to the edges of the fabric. You can face the face up, and you can involve.

But in the second version, let's stop in more detail. First, we estimate manually detail, folding them with the front side to each other and form them with the iron. Then we apply zipper from above and gently adret it to the material from the wrong side. After that, we break the stitches created by hand.

Now it remains the simplest - sew a chair-bag with your own hands, using the pattern. We act on the same principle. We fold the details of the material face side to each other and sew them at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from the edge (depending on how many centimeters we left for the allowance). If you doubt that you will get smoothly from the first time, you first get the fabrics manually, and then step up. The main thing is to pay attention to the correct position of the hands: the left must hold the cloth, and the right way is to set the direction of movement. On the video is a small master class, how to do it right.

Filling balls

The resulting internal bag fill with special balls (polystyrene granules) by 2/3 volumes. This is a polystyrene foam, which is a foam variety of foam.

Be careful - do not use the "crumb" from the foam: it is much cheaper, but the quality leaves much to be desired, as it is obtained by crushing the old foam containers.

Use only a high-quality filler from proven manufacturers, which is not afraid of water and steam, mold and resistant to temperature drops. Fill the filler to the inner case can be using an empty plastic bottle. See photo. It is these small balls that will ensure the unsurpassed comfort of your soft seating and allow you to get a job on it with maximum convenience.

Eliminating odor

Do not worry if you realize that the new filler has the smell - it will disappear after a while. Just wait a bit, or hold the seat on the balcony or ventilate the room several times.

Over time, any polystyrene foam gives a small shrinkage. To give the chair for the previous form, you will need only add a little filler to the inner case (for this we did zipper).
