Very often, the old upholstered furniture try to cover with some kind of blanket or, for example, a bedspread. Thus, it is impossible to fundamentally solve the problem of ugly old furniture. Its side walls can not be covered with a rug and this spoils the impression of the overall interior. Removable covers will be an excellent solution to get out of this situation. They also protect furniture from any mechanical damage.

Removable furniture covers have a number of undeniable advantages:

Hauling furniture - this is an extreme measure to restore it. This is quite an expensive job. You will have to take care of the transportation of the chair, as well as do without this piece of furniture for a while.

Today in the market textile products are presented in a wide choice. Even the most capricious customers will be able to choose the best option for themselves.Colorful covers for furniture will be an excellent color accent in the interior of the room. To sew the eurocover, you must select the following materials:

1. Velours. This material is very soft and has a velvety texture. Velor is enough budget material. It has a different arrangement of the pile, so it can be combed and smoothed in different ways. Velor can be both smooth and embossed or, for example, shaped. The material is unpretentious in the care, stains on it are removed quite easily, without the use of any additional funds. It has hypoallergenic properties and wear-resistant.
2. Cotton. A material that has a significant advantage is naturalness. Cotton is a type of breathable fabric. The material lends itself well to staining and therefore the covers on the computer chair are colorful and bright. Cotton is short-lived because it contains no artificial fiber, which prolongs the life of the products. After washing, the cotton cover often shrinks.
3. Flock - it is soft, rather gentle, but at the same time and very durable material. Flock is not deformed and eliminates the need for ironing.Even with prolonged use, the flock cover perfectly retains its initial appearance. This fabric is a modern trendy analogue of velvet. The material is quite simple to clean and has water-repellent properties. Flock is resistant to sunlight and therefore does not fade with time.

It is recommended to sew two different covers: for the back of the chair and the seat. Most computer chairs have exactly this design. Take a transparent tracing paper and attach it to every detail. Then circle them with a simple pencil, pen or marker. The next step is to cut out the details along the contour and get the finished pattern. It will need to cut the finished elements from the selected material.

Do not forget to leave seam allowances on the fabric. Detail for the back can be done in several versions:

1. Case of two elements, which consists of similar parts. It must be sewn only from three sides. Bottom does not need to sew. It is turned out and easily put on a chair from above. For seams it is necessary to leave two centimeters allowances. Optionally, on the back of the cover, you can additionally make a pocket.
2. Single chair cover. On the seams leave allowances of approximately 5 centimeters. They are necessary in order to form a kind of tunnel. In the future, you need to insert a rubber band. Such a cover must necessarily fit very tightly the desired part of the chair.

We will describe an easy way to sew a case. Even a very experienced dressmaker can cope with it. To create a cover in this way you do not need much time, and also do not need to make a lot of effort. Step by step sewing instructions:

1. Disassemble your chair into basic parts. Disconnect the backrest, lower seat and armrests in stages.
2. Prepare separate patterns for all parts of the product. Measure the parts carefully and carefully trace them on the tracing paper or directly on the fabric. The drawing, which is made on tracing paper will be more accurate.
3. Carefully cut out all the details. Patterns and transfer them to the fabric.
4. Pay close attention to the main direction of the fabric threads. Thus, you will avoid distortions on the finished product.
5. Do not forget to leave allowances for stitches.
6. Carefully cut out all the necessary details from the selected fabric. At this stage, be sure to consider the required angles and all the required rounding of the parts.

Direct tailoring of a cover demands some skills. In order for a self-made cape to fit the chair well, it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances:

1. Cut edges of all parts it is necessary overlock or manually - line zigzag. Thus, you will avoid rassatyvaniya finished product.
2. From the inside, the product bends inside not less than one and a half centimeters. In this case, it is cracked up with special pins or loosely stitched with a regular thread.
3. Blanks need to be stitched only straight stitch. At the same time about 3-4 mm recede from the edge.
4. For comfortable gum retracting need to leave about 2-3 cm.
5. The required length of the gum retract separately in every detail of the cover. After that we fasten the joints with a thread.
6. We put on ready covers on all elements of the chair. After that, collect the product.

Before you start work on self-tailoring cover, you need to know a few simple rules to simplify the process:

1. If you do the pattern with your own hands for the first time, make sure that the product is made correctly.
2. All elements of the pattern can be transferred to an old, unusable sheet. Then you need to carefully cut all the details and sew together. Try to put the received preliminary cover on your armchair. If necessary, correct the pattern.
3. The fabric for the manufacture of the cover must be clean and ironed. The material will shrink and you will not need to add extra centimeters further.
4. When making a pattern, it is better to sign all its details in advance. Thus, you will not get lost in them.
5. Desirable pretreat overlock material that can crumble.
