PATTERN

For adult-size chair

Medium- to heavy-weight fabric for outer cover:
for fabric 45 to 48 (115 to 122 cm) wide: 5 yards (4.6m)
for fabric 54 to 60 (137 to 152.5cm) wide: 3-1/2 yards (3.2m)
Muslin for lining, yardage same as for outer cover
Zipper, 22" (56cm) long
Polystyrene or plastic pellets, approximately 6 cu. ft. (1.85 cu. m). Note that
more may be needed depending on the size of your bag. Check online (we
suggest Amazon.com) or with doll stuffing suppliers, packing suppliers or
upholstery suppliers for sources.
Other suggested filler to use would be packing peanuts. Use the ones that DO
NOT dissolve with water

HOW TO SEWStep
A BEAN
BAG
1: Gather Materials
3 yards of fabric for the
inner lining
3 yards of fabric from the
Michael Miller Dick and
Jane collection for the
outside cover
Scraps of coordinating
fabric for the appliqu
30 of wide hook and
loop tape
Bean bag pellets (I used
one 100 liter bag of
recycled polystyrene
pellets)
The pattern pieces at the
end of this tutorial
The inside lining and outside cover
are made the same way except for
the closure. Pictures in the tutorial
are of the outside cover.

Step 2: Cut the pieces

The bean bag chair is made up of six
panels. Each yard of fabric will yield
two panels, with a bit leftover (which
will be used later). Fold fabric
selvedge to selvedge.
Iron it on the crease. Fold it in 8 on
the side and iron that crease. Cut so
that you have a rectangle. (Basically
you are creating a panel that if
unfolded would measure 16 x 45).
Place the corner of the pattern where
all the
folds meet. Pin in place and cut.
When unfolded, it should be football
shaped.
Do this again with the remainder of
the yard. You will have strip of fabric
leftover. Do not discard it!
Continue cutting until you have six
panels. Figure out how you want your

Step 3: Sew the panels

With right sides facing, sew two
panels
together along one side. Youll want
to
start and stop your stitching at
approximately 5/8 from the top and
bottom points.
Iron the seams in one direction. Do
NOT
iron them open, as this creates a
weak
seam. If you have a serger, use it
now. If
not, dont worry about it.
Sew the second and third panels
together
along one side. You now have half of
a
bean bag chair!
Set this aside and sew the three

Step 4:Create the closure

The outer cover will use a hook and
loop
closure to allow for easy removal for
laundering. The inner cover needs to
be
closed in the following way: Sew the
first
and sixth panels together leaving a
ten
inch opening for turning right side out
and filling. Apply the appliqus (step
3),
then fill. After filling, it should then be
hand-stitched closed.
Cut a strip of fabric 32 x 2- long.
Fold down both ends and iron
them
down. Then fold the entire length of
the
strip in half and iron it.
The loop tape is 30 long. Mark its

Line up the center of the strip with

the
center of the panel side where it will
be
attached. The loop tape should be
facing
down and the raw edges should be
together. Pin in place and sew using a
seam allowance. Reinforce at the
beginning and end by backstitching.
Fold the strip over to the other side of
the
panel so that the loop tape is now
facing
up. Finger press it along the edge and
sew in place, backstitching when you
start and stop.
For the other panel, do the same
thing
create the strip, attach the hook tape,
center it, pin it in place and sew with

RAW
EDGE

Instead of turning it to the other side

of
the panel, however, the hook tape
needs
to remain facing up. Make it behave
by
finger pressing the seam so that it
lies
under the panel. Topstitch it in place.

Make sure the bean bag cover is still

inside out. Attach the hook and loop
tape
together (not all the way down, just
at the
top, since youll need to get through
the
opening to sew!), and sew the ends of
the
strips together from A to B. Backstitch
to reinforce. Do the same for the

Step 5: Create and attach the

appliqu
The points on the top and bottom of
the
cover may or may not line up, but
that
doesnt really matter because they
need to
be reinforced anyway with a sturdy
appliqu. For the appliqu youll need
one
piece of fabric for the top, one for the

following the manufacturers
directions.
Place the top piece face down on the
bottom piece. The interfacing needs
to be
on the underside.
Trace the circle with a fabric pen and
then

Pink the edges of the circle. Carefully

pull
the two fabric layers apart and cut a
slit in
the bottom piece. Do not cut through
any
stitching. Turn the circle right side
out.

a bit to get the edges smooth.

Pin it on top of the bean bag cover

where
all the points meet. Pin it so that each
panel has one pleat in it. Take special
care
to ensure that the appliqu lays flat.

appliqu.
Attach another appliqu to the
bottom in
the same way.
Insert the filled liner in the cover, and
close
it up!
