I have been toying with the idea to make coushions to keep under my coffee table that i can pull out for extra seating.
What started out as a seat under the table beacme a big bean bag ottoman.
Heres how it happned.
I started out with 2 meters of thick brown upholstry material which had a 48 inch width. Though the idea was to make a seat with 21" i liked having an even 24 inch seat. The height is 12" . This can change as per your need
Materials
1 ) Thick upholstry cloth or faux leather or canvas
24" x 24" squares (2 pieces) add 1
24" X 12" rectangles (4 pieces)
2) Zipper black or brown
3) Matching thread
4) Sewing machine
5) Beans to fill it with.
Method:
1) Attach the 4 pieces of 24 X 12 to one of the 24X24 such that the 24 " sides of the square is stiched to the 24 inch side of the rectangle . The final resultant should be a a plus sign
2) Attach 3 sides base (i.e the 24 inch side) to the 3 sides of the plus to form a box. The last side would have the Zip
4) Stich the zipper on the forth side and seal well
5) Fill it with beans.
6) Zip it... and relax!!!
Note :
1 ) By leaving 1/2 inch seam allowance on all sides my end resultant cuboid was 23 (L) "X 23(W)" x 11 " (H)
2) Double stiching is definitely recomended try this link for instructions on how to double stich
