Recently, chairs whose legs are hidden under the material or are completely absent have become fashionable. They are also called cubes. In order not to waste time choosing a suitable model and money on buying it, you can make a cover for a stool with your own hands. For this you will need:

1. Thread, needle, scissors, pins.
2. A sheet of paper, a simple pencil.
3. Snake of suitable length.
4. Ordinary material to the taste of the master.

Before starting work, you need to measure the stool. The height of the chair, the length and width of the seat are measured. We make a pattern of five fragments. We take seam allowance into account in every detail. Set the allowance size to two centimeters. For a straight seat, the width of the side parts varies. It’s easier with a square stool - the side parts are the same. Algorithm of actions:

1. Assemble all the side panels with the right sides facing inward. Sew them, leaving one fragment unstitched. Iron each seam.
2. Fold the bottom edges twice, one and a half centimeters each, and stitch.
3. Sew a snake between elements that were not sewn previously.
4. Grind down the sides with the seat with the right sides facing inward. Alternately connect each side part to a specific side of the seat.
5. Make a machine seam in the stitching areas.
6. Turn the product onto your face and place it on a stool. Fasten the zipper. The cube chair is ready.

How to sew a cover for a round stool with your own hands

To sew a cover for a stool with a round elastic band, we will need the following set of materials:

• Foam rubber;
• Lining material;
• Main fabric;
• A long piece of elastic;
• Decorative elements for frill or fringe.

Turn the chair upside down and place it on the fabric. We outline the outline, add allowances of 7 cm around the entire circumference. Now you need to cut a circle from the base material. In a similar way, cut out the lining and soft filling. We make allowances on all layers. We assemble the product. Place the lining fabric face down and the foam on top. We sew the product around the circumference. Further actions:

1. To secure the filling inside the case, you can quilt the product with any pattern a couple of times.
2. Fold the main material and lining. Fold the edge twice by two centimeters. Leave a groove for the elastic to fit into. Secure with a machine stitch and thread the elastic into the cover.
3. Secure the ends of the elastic with a stitch or use a safety pin.
4. Let's try on the finished cape on the stool. Tighten the elastic bands on both sides so that it completely covers the chair. There should be no folds, dents or other defects.
5. The ends of the elastic need to be sewn.
6. If desired, we decorate the stool with fringe, lace or other decorative elements.
