Chair Pockets
Kindergarten Chair Pockets slide over the back of the children’s chairs with a pocket on the back to hold their personal school supplies.
Supplies needed:
1. Cut 2 pieces of fabric – 16" X 28" for the chair cover, and 19" X 14" for the pocket.
2. Take the pocket piece. Fold over ½" along the 19" side and press. Then fold over 1 ¼" , press and sew to make a casing for the elastic. At this time, an additional decorative pocket can be added if desired.
3. Put a large safety pin on the end of the elastic and push through the casing. Line up the ends of the elastic with the fabric and sew in place.
4. Pin the pocket piece to the right side of the end of the 16" X 28" piece. Pin the edges even with the elastic edge toward the center. The pocket piece is wider than the cover piece. Fold the pocket piece into a pleat at the bottom of each side to fit the cover piece (or run a gathering thread to pull up the excess). Pin and baste across the bottom.
5. Fold the other side of the cover over the pocket. Match the bottom corners and pin the sides. Sew. Sew a zig-zag stitch on the cut edges to minimize fraying if desired.
6. Fold a small rolled hem all around the bottom and sew.
7. Turn right side out.
