How to sew a cover for a highchair

The chair - essential piece of furniture for the baby. There are many different models, and they are United by the presence of cover. Because the child may not always be accurate, and the appearance of the chair I would like to keep a neat case it's just necessary.

Typically, each chair originally is the case, but when it was not provided by the manufacturer or have become unusable, e.g. torn, stitch back case you can own.

The choice of material

The choice of material for sewing the cover plays an important role. First, it should be not the brand, preferably not absorb water, to make it easier to wash; secondly, it is hypoallergenic, as the child will be daily contact with this material. It is best to use plastic materials.

It is also important to remember about the gasket for the cover if the chair is too hard, the child will not be comfortable, and the process of eating will be unpleasant for him. For stuffing best suited batting.

New case modeled after the old

This method is suitable for cases when existing on the chair cover was damaged, for example, a child has done a hole in it. In this case, it's pretty simple. Enough to remove the damaged case from the chair, rip all the seams. Then lay it on a large sheet of paper and a pencil to circle. For this pattern you need to make a pattern of new material. It is best to make a pattern, leaving a margin of 1-2 cm for seams. Next, sew the cover on the old and fill with stuffing. You can consider some of the disadvantages of the previous case, if you have them and modify them. For example, the case was too big and slip on the chair, in this case it is necessary to subtract 1-2 cm around the edges of the pattern.

If the case was not

Sales are little chairs which initially has no case. As a rule, wooden chairs. To preserve the appearance of the tree as long as possible, you will have to make a case. This will take the material directly to the cover, gasket (it is better to take in a large amount to provide sufficient softness) and a large piece of any thin fabric. The fabric needed to attach it to high chair, to give it shape and a circle, so it will be clear how to look for the pattern cover. This pattern is transferred pattern on material to cover. At the same time, we must not forget about the overlaps on the seams - they should be 3-4 cm, taking into account further filling gasket. To cover was attached to the back, you can sew the ribbon to further tie them, or to provide cover studs. You can also sew a separate pocket, then you need to provide the variant patterns when the cover is put on over the back.
