A Quick Guide To Be Able To Easy Bean Bag Seats

By Martin Shenoal


If you are a conscientious individual that made sewing and fabricating garments into your hobby, you will frequently have a variety of fabrics all over as waste. After a while, these excess fabrics can really start accumulating and it is a waste to dispose these in the dumpster. So, rather than tossing them away, you could educate yourself how to make bean bags or, if you actually have lots of remaining textiles and looking for a challenge, create medium bean bag chairs out of them.

Regular bean bags are usually small pouches filled up with plastic pellets or fiberfill. These kinds of bags aren't filled with real beans anymore and therefore are easy to make. A standard bean bag can be approximately 4 inches sq. So to produce a batch of 10 bean bags you should have about yard of 45-inch wide remaining textiles.

Creating the bags is a simple and a brief process. First, you make a 4 inch square on the cardboard of hefty paper. This would be the template as it were. Then, you employ this template to draw 20 squares on the leftover material. Two squares for each pouch. Then you pin each sides of the bag together and seam a inch seam about the sides on the pouch. You continue stitching up until you get to a corner and you then turn the pouch the whole 90 degrees. Leave behind a 2-inch opening short. This particular opening is going to be where you would set in the filling. Soon after adding the stuffing in the pouch, sew the outlet shut. Repeat this process for other pieces and you have a set of bean bags that can be used to embellish your residence or play toss with.

Another thing you can create from your extra textiles is a bean bag chairs. When you can create a chair from a bean bag chair package which has everything already pre-cut in the right form, it could be more fulfilling to produce the chair out of excess fabrics. The materials you may use for a chair should be stable. Look into products just like leather, denim as well as heavy cotton. It must be strong enough to not rip and wear because of the use of the chair. For the filling, you could go with the same filling utilized for the pouches, or you could use actual beans just like kidney beans or packing peanuts. The same as with the bean bags and also the pouches, you will have to make a template before you begin making your bean bag chair. The template for the chair come in the form of a triangle, a triangle with the same measurements at both sides. Use the template to create a triangle from the fabric and sew the edges together yet leave an opening for a zip. When the zip is ready, you can open it up to fill out the chair with all the stuffing.

As you have seen, making a bean bag or bean bag chairs is an excellent and beneficial way to make use of leftover supplies.
