If your chairs have already lost their former refined appearance, and buying new ones or restoring existing ones is too expensive and expensive,
or if their design simply does not fit the general interior of the dining room, then you can decorate them with the simplest way - to sew
universal covers for chairs. They can cover this piece of furniture with the legs and just the back, be festive or everyday - it all depends on your imagination. If you have no time or desire to mess with the sewing machine, you can simply throw a large piece of light fabric on the chair, tighten it in shape and fasten it with a knot or bow. And here are a few options for sewing.
The easiest case
If you need to decorate only the back of a chair, then you will cope with this task in just half an hour. To do this, you need a piece of custom fabric, embroidery threads or multi-colored rags for applique, as well as two parameters: the height and width of the back. There is no simpler option on how to sew chair covers like simple pillowcases. So, we fold the fabric in half and make a pattern on it (it is a rectangle with sides equal to our standards + 7-10 cm from each side to the seams and thickness of the chair). It remains only to stitch the seams along the upper and side edges of the cover, and the bottom should remain empty for putting on furniture. Both of its surfaces - or just the back one - should be decorated with embroidery or patchwork. It is recommended to involve children in this activity. Although they don’t know how to sew chair covers, they have no equal in the variety of creative ideas. Therefore, we trust them to choose a pattern, and then transfer it to our product. Done!
Children's option
In anticipation of winter, thematic options will be relevant. Now we will tell you how to sew chair covers in the form of caps with pompons. In addition, this decoration will greatly delight kids. To do this, first measure the height and width of the back of the chairs, select the red and green fabric with the same pattern, plain white and buy a skein of yarn. Naturally, before stitching covers for chairs, patterns need to be marked on paper or immediately on fabric. To do this, lay out the material on the table, draw a rectangle on it, as in the first case, and add a triangle of arbitrary height to its upper line. Cut, overcast the edges and sew everything except the bottom side. We twist and sew along the edge of the white strip. Now we make a pompom and sew it outside to the top of the triangle. Done!
Strict option
Now consider how to sew chair covers for every day. To do this, we need a dense fabric that holds its shape, a wide silk ribbon, strong threads and an hour of free time. So, on the newspaper we draw a pattern. To do this, first measure the value of No. 1 - from the top edge of the back to the floor (subtract 2 cm), No. 2 - from it to the front edge of the seat (the centimeter should fit snugly to all surfaces when taking measurements). In addition, we will need measurement No. 3 - the width of the chair and No. 4 - the length of the legs (again subtract 2 cm). Now on the newspaper we draw two rectangles with a length equal to the measurements No. 1 and 2, and a width equal to the measurements No. 3, and three more rectangles with sides equal to the measurements No. 3 and 4. Transfer everything to the fabric, cut it out, and process all the edges. We sew the first two patterns along the border of the upper edge of the chair, and sew the remaining pieces along the edges of the seat. It remains only to put products on furniture and fix the ribbon in the form of a bow.
