How To Make A Seat Sack – This year I decided to make chair pockets for my class and after some trial and error we came up with the best way to do it! Thought I’d share how we made them! If you use it in class, clean it regularly so it will serve you for many years!
1. Choose your fabric. I chose two different polka dot fabrics. If you are trying to save money, you can use linen on one side and cheap sheets on the other. Make sure you choose a thick fabric like canvas or denim and a thin fabric like cotton. Cut your chosen fabric 1 yard long and 14 or 15 inches wide. First you need to measure the chair to fit. Also, try placing a briefcase or notebook on it to make sure there’s room for it when you’re done.

2. Turn the already cut piece so that the right side is facing the second fabric. Use the first piece of fabric as a template for the next piece.

3. After cutting the two pieces, make sure they fit right sides together. If you are worried about frying, you can use pinking shears. If the material is wrinkled, you can iron it at this stage.
4. Once the parts are laid out, use a straight stitch to sew one end and two sides together.
5. Turn the fabric inside out so that right sides are facing out. Smooth all the edges and make sure the corners are pushed out.

6. Fold the fabric to create a pocket. I folded mine to about 12 inches, but it’s up to you what you want to fit in your pocket.
7. Turn the pocket over and fold the fabric to create another small pocket to slide around the chair.
8. Iron the front and back pockets all over so you can see where to put them back together later. Iron the edges to make them as flat as possible.

9. At the open end of the rectangle, fold the two pieces of fabric so that the raw edges are not visible. Iron to flat.
11. Reassemble the pocket using an iron crease. The front pocket should be much larger than the back pocket. Pin the pocket lightly so it doesn’t shift when you sew the edges together.
12. Sew both sides of the pocket to connect the front and back pockets. It’s thickest where the pocket overlaps, so make sure you use a thick needle if you’re using canvas. On both sides, start at the top and work your way down. Cut off any loose threads and you’re done!

These are 3 different pockets I made for my own class. A center pocket from Walmart for $5 is made of linen cloth and a double sheet. In the spirit of reading for Back to School, I’m returning to this post from almost four years ago! When I was getting ready for the new year and had to order a set of expensive chair pockets online, my lovely mum volunteered to make me some chairs! She is an amazing seamstress and they came out great! I wash them every year and they last about three years. I could still use them, but I went to a school/class that didn’t use chair pockets much and was ready for something else anyway. Enjoy this tutorial! 🙂
It’s been a while since I posted. I am enjoying the summer to visit my family in Canada. I have some school projects I want to work on, but most of all, I’m enjoying my vacation! My mom and I finished my first summer project: chair pockets. I must commend Mrs. Merchant for introducing it to me. She has made several kits used by first graders over the past few years. I loved them. They help keep my classroom and the kids clean and tidy.
…) So I wanted to get a new one. I don’t sew at all, so I’m only going to buy nice things. I’m going to save my summer money to pay $150 for a class set. Then my dear mother (
Loving Those Grain Sack Chairs
) helped me. Long story short, we made some super cute chair pockets for under $50! If any of you are interested in making your own version, I’ve tried to include a tutorial on how I did it. It’s hard to explain in words how to do something, so I hope you can figure it out with tips and pictures. 🙂
) This size fits perfectly with our small school chairs. I used the dimensions of the Carson-Dellos desk plate to determine how large the plastic badge should be. We cut the plastic
. After cutting everything, we glued a piece of plastic to the center of a small piece of fabric.

Garbage is plastic. He was moving like a madman. We glued it on four sides and then sewed it on three sides with a zigzag stitch. The long stitch seemed to help. It’s still not perfect.
) as you like. We turned and zigzagged. Then take a long piece and clean the 14″ end as well.
Place the short piece on top of the long piece so that the plastic is inside. Align the two finished edges at the bottom so they are facing each other (

Bevel the bottom two corners (or if you’re a sewer like me, cut them at one corner, but don’t cut at the seam).
Don’t you like my family name tag and big chair? 🙂 I don’t have any school stuff here, but I’m going to order the frog I linked above at Carson-DeLosa. Another thing to add to my frog themed room…
If you have any questions or comments about Pocket, please let me know. Good luck if you try! These chair pockets are super fun to sew…as well as quick and easy! This time I used home decor fabric to further cut out my chair pocket stitch pattern. The chair pockets fit over the back of a classroom chair and have two clever pockets for school supplies. I’ve also seen so called seat bags online.

To show you how easy this sewing project is, my friend came to the rescue and she had never sewn before, lol!
We made 20 chair pockets in 2 days, can you believe it? As I mentioned above, I reinforced the pocket with home decor fabric instead of using the binding I put on the original pattern of the chair pocket. I think they look good that way too. I was lucky to find this star designer fabric at a thrift store!
By the way, the chair pockets also fit perfectly with the chairs in my sewing room. Maybe I should sew a pair for myself, what do you think?
