Upholstered furniture with rest and unhurried family conversations, makes a sense of heat and comfort. One of the latest trends in the furniture industry is sofas without a frame consisting of several volumetric, but lightweight pillows. They will fall in taste to lovers: move and transform light modules will be solid pleasure. However, the cost of such a designer in the store is 5-8 thousand rubles, so it is better to make a frameless sofa with their own hands. For the master it will not be a lot of work, there would be a desire.
We offer instructions for making a framework frameless sofa
Preparation for work
Sofa will collect from three folding chairs, therefore, you first need to do them. For the manufacture of one chairs will need:
- Durable furniture fabric (jacquard, microfiber, flock, shenill, leather) - 3 meters with a width of 150 cm.
- Poropolon 10x100x200 cm - 2 sheets. Three chairs leave 5 sheets. Do not attempt to replace two thin sheets with one 20-centimeter piece - the thick filler will quickly go. During operation, the foam rubber in front of the armchairs usually sends. Then expand the pillows to the other side or, opening the zipper, put the foam inserts.
- Lightning of 80 cm long - 7 pcs. Take with a reserve in length and quantity so that I don't have to run to the store again.
- Good reinforced threads.
- PVA glue.
- Portnovsky centimeter, ruler, chalk, scissors.
- Sewing machine.
The whole sofa consists of such folding chairs that are easy to transform in bed
Scheme of one folding chair
Each chair consists of four blanks. Each billet, in turn, consists of two pieces of foam rubber. Cut the foam rubber as follows:
- Square 80x80 cm - 2 pcs.
- Rectangle 60x80 cm - 2 pcs.
- Rectangle 20x80 cm - 2 pcs.
- Rectangle 30x80 cm (in the photo - pink color) - 2 pcs.
Billets for frameless armchairs
Using PVA glue, glue together two sheets of every detail. We obtain four blanks with a thickness of 20 cm.
Cutting and tailoring details of frameless sofa
Production of first detail
We place on the outstanding of the fabric and cut the two squares of 80x80 cm (back and face pillow). The dimensions of the patterns are indicated without a stock on the seams, so do not forget to add one and two centimeters to the allowance.
We cut three tissue bands with dimensions of 20x160 cm. One band specified in the drawing as 1.2, it is better to make a double, for stiffness. We add some dense fabric to it with an inside, you can not new, the same size.
Scheme of the first part
Two details indicated as 1.3, fold in half and sew two zippers, towards each other. As a result, we obtain a double billet 20x160 cm. Now we compare the opposite sides (in the drawing are indicated as a) and b).
Lightning locks converge towards
We sew the squares and stripes (do not forget, all work is carried out with the inside) on the principle of the suitcase, that is, in the form of a boxed pillow with zippers in the middle of the end. The inner edges of the seams are processed by overlock. You can shelter them by Crate, then the pillows will better keep the form. To understand how this is done, look at the processing of the inner seam in school wounds.
From the back of the module, you need to catch 2 loops to make it possible to pull during the decay of the frameless sofa. And it will be easier to carry the pillows. I have no rush to insert the pillowcase pillows until all the details of the cover are sewn together.
The technology of manufacturing the remaining three parts occurs on the same principle. Consider only the size of the blanks and some of the sewing nuances.
Production of the second part
We place on the fabric two rectangles 60x80 cm. We add stock to the allowances and cut.
I cut the band 20x120 cm. As in the first case, we add a piece of dense material for its inside.
We cut two bands with dimensions of 20x160 cm.
Scheme of the second part
Compress the case in the same order as the first.
Production of the third part
We cut one billet with dimensions of 60x86 cm (6 cm add to zip bends, 3 cm on each side).
I cut four square 20x20 cm.
Scheme of the third part
We sew in opposite edges of the large element two zippers. The distance between them at the junction should be minimal. Lightning length can be reduced, you can leave as it is. Do not try to simplify your task how to make a frameless sofa, sewing one lock in the details instead of two. When inserting a glued piece of foam rubber, problems will inevitably arise - the hole will be not enough.
Production of the fourth part
Location and cut out five elements:
- Billet 20x30 cm - 2 pcs.
- Billet 20x80 cm - 2 pcs. (bottom details).
- Billet 80x78 cm - 1 pc.
Scheme fourth details
We fold two bottoms of the bottom and sew the castle on the collapse. We curly the upper edges of the billets with dimensions of 20x30 cm. Consporant all the details from the inside. There will be a problem, how to insert the foam in the wrong shape, and even through one hole. To facilitate the task we carry out the filler with a sliding cloth (silk, atlas, sarza), then put it in the pillowcase will be easier. If you have conceived to make an angular frameless sofa, you need to sew another detail number 4.
For an angular frameless sofa, it is necessary to sew an additional part number 4
Connection of all four pillows
From the very beginning it should be thought out as the details of the case will be connected with each other. If we cross the workpiece with an involve, then in place of the interface of two parts, we add from the inside a double strip of fabric. You can do it on the width of the chair, you can less, retreating from both edges of 5-7 cm. The gap should be as small as possible, then when assembling-disassembly there will not be slacks between two details.
An example of stitching details
There is a simpler way: we adjust the double strip over the connection, customizing the pillows to each other so that they are easy to develop.
Simple way to connect details: Shot a double strip over the connection
Armchairs are connected in the corner frameless sofa
One chair is ready. So that we have a frameless sofa, you need to sew two more such. You can connect the chairs in the sofa in different ways: in the ruler, to the corner of the center, left or right. The furniture is easy to transfer to another room, fold and decompose, turn into separate chairs. Even a child will cope with it. The frameless sofa, made personally, will make originality and comfort in your home, and it will be completely inexpensive.
