Super Cool Chair Tent

Step 2Cutting the Pieces

Cutting the Pieces
Measure the height of your chair back. This measurement will determine the height of your tent. My chairs were 40" high. I will use this measurement throughout the instructions (insert your own measurement accordingly).

Cut these rectangles from fabric.
  • top 54" x 30"
  • 2 sides 40" x 54"
  • 4 end flaps 40" x 24"
  • 4 pockets 20" x 15"

If using a queen sheet set:
  • cut the top (54" x 30") and two of the end flaps (40" x 24") out of the fitted sheet
  • cut sides and 2 end flaps from the flat sheet
fold sheet matching top and bottom edges to get these pieces, cutting through both
layers of the sheet at one time

The pockets will be made from the pillow cases:
The two pillow cases will give you 4 pockets if you cut this way:
  • Cut 15" up from the open end of each pillow case. This will give you two finished chair pocket pieces (already hemmed). Trim the remainder of the two pillow cases to 16". Use 1" the difference to create a hem. You now have four pockets -- set aside for a later step.
