Classic furniture will always be relevant. But with the advent of new products, many began to think about their acquisition. After all, they allow you to slightly refresh the interior and set accents favorably. For example, a chair-bag looks great in a modern style and never goes unnoticed. And all because it repeats the bends of a person and sitting on such an armchair is a pleasure.
Bean bag: advantages and disadvantages
First of all, it is worth noting that such a chair gives an incredible feeling of comfort. Due to the correctly selected filler, it exactly repeats all the bends of the body. Thus, the load on the spine is reduced, and the body relaxes as much as possible. In addition, if foam is used as the filler, the chair will additionally have a warming effect.
In addition, such a piece of furniture is quite practical. After all, moving it or moving it to another room is not difficult. It is very light, so even a child can lift it. As for leaving, everything here is also very simple. It is enough to just remove the cover from the chair and wash it in the washing machine.
Quite often, the chair bag is chosen specifically for the children's room. This is really justified, because unlike classic chairs, this option does not have corners and solid elements. That is, it is as safe as possible for children of any age. By the way, many manufacturers pay special attention to the environmental friendliness of materials. What is a significant advantage if the family has allergies.
As for the shortcomings, among them the size of the chair. Of course, for many this is an advantage, since you can even lie on it. But at the same time, such a product takes up a lot of space. Therefore, the chair bag should not be purchased in a small room.
It is also worth noting that this type of furniture is not suitable for every interior. This is especially true of the classic design of the room. A bag chair will be much more appropriate in a modern interior or in a Scandinavian-style room. But still, keep in mind that you can always find the right material or color scheme for such furniture. Therefore, if you wish, you can choose the appropriate option or sew a cover yourself.
How to sew a chair bag with your own hands?
Despite the fact that the chair-bag has a rather non-standard shape, it is quite possible to make it at home. But first, it is worth deciding on some nuances. The first thing to choose is a fabric for a cover. It is very important that it is durable and easy to care for. After all, you will have to wash the cover often. Particular attention should be paid to the appearance of the material. It depends on how appropriate such a chair in the interior will be. The most commonly used fabric is oxford, micro velveteen or flock. If desired, you can make an eco-leather chair. Such products look very beautiful and at the same time are well suited to different types of interior.
It is also worth choosing material for the inner case. It is very important that there are small holes on it that provide ventilation. Often, such a fabric has a low cost.
In addition, the work will definitely need the following:
- sewing machine;
- threads
- pencil;
- centimeter;
- scissors;
- paper;
- lightning;
- filler.
Please note that the simplest and most popular version of the filler is polystyrene. It is considered harmless as well as hypoallergenic. This is very important, especially if there are children in the house.
If all the necessary materials are selected, then it's time to get to work.To do this, draw a pattern on paper. She can be absolutely anyone. It all depends on which chair you plan to make.
Transfer all the details of the pattern to the fabric and carefully cut. Connect the two blanks of the same shape with the help of pins and only after that you can flash them on a sewing machine. 
On one side of the workpiece we sew a zipper.
Using the same principle, we make an inner cover from thinner fabric.
If desired, you can sew the handle to the outside of the main cover.
When both blanks are sewn, fill the inner cover with polystyrene. This must be done very carefully so that it does not crumble. The material is highly electrified and collecting it will be quite problematic. Then simply put on such a blank the main cover and that's it, the chair-bag can be used.
Baby chair bag
In the children's room, a chair-bag will always be appropriate. Just when sewing it needs to be adapted and made a little smaller.
Such materials will be needed:
- fabric in two shades;
- sewing machine;
- threads
- scissors;
- lightning;
- polystyrene.
To begin with, determine the size of the chair, cut off two pieces of fabric. Then they need to be sewn along the lines marked in the photo.
Fold the blank in half, combining the sewn parts. Cut a piece of fabric in the shape of a semicircle from the corner.
Sew the blank as shown in the photo.
The next thing to do is sew on the zipper.
If necessary, the edges can be fixed with pins.
Fill the cover with polystyrene and that's it, the original bag chair is ready!
Unusual bag chair
For those who have old or unnecessary jeans, we suggest making a very original chair. Rest assured, it certainly will not go unnoticed.
Necessary materials:
- jeans;
- scissors;
- pins
- sewing machine;
- threads
- thin cover with polystyrene.
First, you need to cut out small jeans without seams from all jeans.
Arrange them on a working surface in random order, based on the desired size of the chair.
Fasten them with a pin and only then can you sew on a typewriter.
At this stage, you can iron the workpiece.
Place a thin polystyrene cover in the main cover and stitch the last edge.
The result is an original bean bag chair.
