Multi-Function Walking Stick - Converts to a Chair

Step 5 Sew the Canvas Seat

Seat Materials:
(2) Pieces heavy canvas (approximately 14"x14") 
Heavy duty Polyester thread


1: Cut two pieces of canvas into triangles  (14" per side)
2: Sew the two pieces together along the three sides.  Stop the sew lines about 2 inches short on each end
3: Turn the sewn together pieces of fabric inside-out through one of the openings at a corner of the triangle .
4: Fold over each edge of the triangle to a width of about 3/4 inch and sew.  This will form a "sleeve" along each side of the triangle.

The seat is too small. I weigh 70 pounds and it's too small for me.

I think that a 16x16x16 triangle world work better because mine seems kinda small and hurts when you sit on it...

Just have to mind the splay angles of the legs. Given the 2' length of each segment a larger seat triangle would result in a splay angle greater than 30 degrees. The larger angle will transfer the load on the legs from less of a compressive load along the axis while increasing the bending stress on the legs at the ring. Not saying it won't work but without compensating with longer segments the seat height would be lower and the legs may fail at the ring.
