Turn Any Old Blanket Into a Bean Bag ChairWhether it's extra seating you need or a plush spot to put your feet up, this cozy circular beanbag pouf fits the bill. The playful dot pattern adds retro-inspired whimsy and visual interest. Materials: 3 yd fabric; string and tape (optional); sewing machine with zipper foot; 6 yd 3/8" cording; polyester bean filler (we used Poly-fil Beanbag Filler from Fairfield Processing). 1. Measure, mark and cut one 31"-diam circle of fabric for cushion top and one 33"-diam circle for cushion bottom. To create circles, tie a piece of string around a pencil or marker. Holding the marker straight down, stretch the string and mark it at a point half the diameter of the circle you're drawing. Apply a piece of tape in alignment over the mark and tape to the center of the fabric. With the marker pointing straight down and string taut, begin rotating the marker around the center, compass-style, to trace circle. 2. For cushion side, cut two 15"x491/2" pieces of fabric.
For handle, cut a 6"x12" strip of fabric. 3. For piping cover, cut enough 2"-wide bias strips of fabric to create 6 yd. Bias strips will need to be pieced. 4. To add the zipper, fold cushion bottom in half and press. Cut along pressed line. Using a zipper foot, machine-stitch zipper along the cut straight edges of the fabric, following package directions. 5. To make the piping, wrap bias strip around the cording with the right side out and the raw edges even. Machine-baste close to the cord using zipper foot. 6. Pin piping to the cushion top, keeping the raw edge of the piping even with the raw edge of the cushion fabric. Clip seam allowance of the piping as needed to ease around edge. 7. Baste the piping to the top, beginning and ending the stitching 2" from the cut ends of the piping. After stopping stitching 2" before your starting point, open out the piping. Trim the cord on one end so it butts up against the cord end at the starting point. Turn the raw end of the bias strip under, wrap it around the 2 cord ends and complete stitching.
8. Repeat step 7 for cushion bottom. 9. Fold the handle in half lengthwise, with wrong sides together and raw edges even. Open out and fold each long edge to the center fold and press. Refold along the center crease. Stitch close to folded edge. 10. Turn under and press 1/2" along each short end of the handle. Center the handle on the right side of one cushion side piece. Stitch at each end, leaving a bit of slack for your hand to fit through. 11. Pin cushion sides together along short ends, with right sides together and raw edges even. Stitch with a 1/2" seam allowance and press seams open. Pin cushion side to cushion top, with right sides together and raw edges even. Clip fabric as needed to ease around edges. Stitch just inside the basting stitch line along the piping. Repeat with the cushion bottom. Turn right side out through the zipper opening and press. Pour in the polyester beans.How To Make A Modern Beanbag Pouf Since it's small spaces month, we wanted to feature a modern take on the lowly beanbag chair: a piece of furniture that is versatile and comfy, something that can do triple duty as an ottoman, a seat and a coffee table and something that doesn't have to remind you of your dorm room or childhood rec room plus you can diy a simple version yourself.
Yes, the lowly beanbag chair. But this one isn't the one you're thinking of (the kind you had in your room as a kid or maybe even your dorm room). Sure, it was comfy, but man was it ugly. No, these days we have our eye on the adult version of the beanbag chair, most recently seen at West Elm. 1. Choose Your Fabric. Here in LA, we're big fans of F and S for upholstery weight fabric. Online try Purl or Sew Mama Sew. We love the dimple patterns that West Elm was featuring. Try ebay for inexpensive Kilim rugs/fabric to try something similar. 2. Measure twice and cut once. You will need two 24"x24" squares and four 13"x24" rectangles (leave an extra half inch for sewing on all sides). 3. Sew 3 sides (and add zipper). To be safe match up your fabric inside out and to make things durable, sew a double seam and decide where you want to install your zipper (so that you can wash this baby occasionally). 4. Repeat step 2 for your inner bag. Using a rugged muslin or other cheap, durable fabric, sew your inner pouch to the same measurements as the outer one but make sure to fill it with bean bag filler before your sew that last seam.
You can either buy bean bag beans or you can use one of these alternatives.Stuff that inner bag into your outer sleeve and zip it up.

Large Fuf - Sierra Red Comfort Suede 20 Years ago, two guys in college with too much time on their hands started making FUF filled chairs with a cover sewn by mom and foam that they begged, borrowed and bartered from local manufacturers. With the question, 'why wouldn't everyone want one of these?' their quest for 'Comfort for All' began. Today, Big Joe and Lux by Big Joe are a household name known for affordability, great designed chairs, pet beds and pool products.
And, a few years ago the guys wanted to extend the 'Comfort for All' philosophy by giving 10% of products to bring comfort to those in need. So, when you buy a Big Joe Chair, you're not the only one who will be a bit more comfortable.
