The idea of making a seat cushion yourself is sometimesdoes not come by chance, but by necessity, since sometimes the hard surface of a chair becomes extremely uncomfortable for afternoon, evening or other types of rest.
You can sew a seat for a chair with your own hands,Moreover, from the simplest option you can create a real masterpiece, using different techniques: embroidery, patchwork, applique. Someone will say that you can always use a soft sofa, bed, or couch for this. However, the decisive factor here is the owner's own comfort: if he prefers to always and everywhere enjoy convenience, then a seat on a chair will come in handy.
Concept ideas
A seat is a device that is shaped likerepeating the horizontal surface of the chair. Its main task is to provide comfort thanks to the soft filler. The main feature of this item is sufficient thickness and softness. Of secondary importance, but a mandatory parameter are the fasteners that prevent the seat from falling.

- a cushion made of tissue cut or sewn from flaps;
- mat large mating, multilayered;
- a mat made of ribbons, made of large viscous, which provides the volume of the product.
As you can see, the question of how to make a seat isto a greater extent concerns the process of implementing a specific idea, because absolutely any, even the most unusual design, will be quite suitable for decorating a chair or armchair. In addition, a hand-made thing made in accordance with the style of the room will only emphasize the overall design, which is an additional plus. Return to contents</a>
Preparation for the implementation of the idea of creating a seat
To make a knitted rug you will needrelevant skills in the field of handicrafts, in particular, in the matter of knitting or crocheting. It is quite possible to learn this in a fairly short time, but if you need to make a seat as quickly as possible, then the most accessible option in terms of complexity will do - a pillow.
The seat for the chair can be sewn from scraps,cut into strips, stuffed with padding polyester and intertwined. Here you can use your imagination or act based on the available resources. If you have a piece of fabric of sufficient size, then you can immediately start taking measurements from the furniture and directly making the pattern. In the case when there is not enough fabric for work, you can look around the house for unnecessary things or scraps of material of different density and structure (preferably denser, so that the seat for the chair turns out to be durable). From everything that you can find, you can make a very nice material for further work. In total, the following tool will be useful for the implementation of this idea:
- pen-pencil;
- Ruler;
- curved;
- needle for sewing or sewing machine.
If there is no sewing machine in the house, then it is quite possiblethe option of fastening the seat elements yourself will do. The main thing is to make sure that all the seams are strong, for which it is recommended to sew them several times. If you have sewing skills, and there is a sewing machine in the house, then the task is much simpler, since all the work can be done very quickly. The materials you will need are:
- the cloth;
- thread;
- foam rubber or other filler;
- paper for the pattern.
As you can see, the set of materials is very poor, and thissays that the idea will cost practically nothing, except maybe a couple of hours of time. If you have a sewing machine at home, these terms are reduced by half. Return to contents</a>
Implementation of the idea
It would seem that the work ahead is very simple.But if you don't have a clear plan for its implementation and don't follow it, then as a result of impromptu action you may get a low-quality thing, which in addition to this also doesn't correspond to the size of the chair. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to adhere to a certain sequence of actions:

Thus, the work on sewing the seat cushiona little, and its design can be done in different ways and at the owner's discretion. The most important and, perhaps, the most difficult thing is to take into account all the subtleties, for example, to take measurements correctly, to transfer the pattern to the material without errors, not to forget to sew in ribbons at the corners, to fill the pillow with stuffing material qualitatively and without gaps.
