Chair Pockets
Chair Pockets
The other day I didn't know what to do. So
I asked mummy and she suggested I make some pockets for the boy’s chairs. So I
did and then was having so much fun I made a bigger one for my sister’s chair
too.
You
will need: material, sewing machine, thread, velcro, scissors and a chair, to measure
the size by and to put it on.
First you must chose your material, then drape it over the chair and cut
it out so it just fits over the back and down a bit further for a small chair. Don't
forget to leave enough room for the hems. Then cut out a rectangle for the
pocket which will be about the same width as the rest and however deep needed.
Next get out the sewing machine
and hem around the edges of both pieces. The hems will look much neater if you fold the raw edge
under so it can’t be seen.
Next sew the pocket onto the rest of the material, DON'T SEW UP THE TOP! Now
get a piece or two of velcro, (sticky backed stuff is especially good, because
it will stay where you put it until sewed on.) Be careful not to get the thread
stuck in the velcro, so the sewing machine can’t pull it through, because that
might pull the needle back and make it hit the foot and SNAP, (I think that’s what
mine did!) my good needle too :(
Then you will need to turn it
inside out and if it is a big chair just put the two bottom edges together and
sew up the SIDE EDGES. If the chair is a smaller one the pocket will hang down
lower than the back of the chair, so be more careful when sewing up the edges.
Turn it the right way around and slip it on the chair, put your stuff in it and
your done.
